SUGGESTED ANSWER TO QUESTION 4-4

All three sequences of 10 coin tosses are equally likely to occur.

Explanation. The chance that a fair coin will come up heads is 1/2; and the chance that a fair coin will come up tails also is 1/2. Thus, the chance that any sequence of 10 tosses of a coin will occur is:

1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/1024

Each of the three sequences of 10 coin tosses will occur 1 time out of every 1024.
