Answer:
The probability that it will land below the sixth step and heads up is [tex]\frac{1}{14}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : You accidentally dropped a coin from the top of 7 stairs.
To find : What is the probability that it will land below the sixth step and heads up?
Solution :
A coin has two sides - head and tail.
Probability of getting head is
[tex]P(H)=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Total stairs are 7.
Coin will land below the sixth step i.e. it land on 7th step.
So, Probability of landing coin on below the sixth step is
[tex]P(L)=\frac{1}{7}[/tex]
Now, The probability that it will land below the sixth step and heads up is
[tex]P=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{7}[/tex]
[tex]P=\frac{1}{14}[/tex]
Therefore, The probability that it will land below the sixth step and heads up is [tex]\frac{1}{14}[/tex]
