[algogeeks] Re: Probability Puzzle
Even u dont get why u people are gettin 17/80...the probability that it will be a head 6th time will be same as the frst time...so it shud be 3/5...

Hope you get the point. On Sun, Aug 7, 2011 at 11:29 PM, Algo Lover algolear...@gmail.com wrote: Can anyone explain the approach how to solve this . I think all tosses are independent so it should be 3/5. why is this in- correct On Aug 7, 10:55 pm, saurabh chhabra saurabh131...@gmail.com wrote: sry...its wrong On Aug 7, 10:34 pm, Algo Lover algolear...@gmail.com wrote: A bag contains 5 coins.
