You are given an unfair coin (i. e. a coin where the probability of it landing on either side is NOT 1/21/2) and told that the probability of getting at least one tails in three tosses of said coin is 26/2726/27. The probability of getting heads in one toss of the unfair coin can be expressed in the form M/NM/N, where MM and NN are relatively prime positive integers (i. e. their greatest common divisor is 1). Compute M + NM+N

Here we have a problem of probability, we will find that the probability of landing in heads is M/N = 1/3, then we have:

M + N = 1 + 3 = 4.

Let's see how we got that:

Let's define:

p = probability of landing on tails

q = probability of landing on heads.

The probability of getting at least one tails in 3 tosses is 26/27

This means that the probability of not getting tails in the 3 tosses is:

P = 1 - 26/27 = 1/27

And the case where you do not get any tails in the 3 tosses, means that in all the 3 tosses you got heads.

The probability of getting 3 heads in a row is:

P = q^3 = 1/27

Solving for q, we get:

q = ∛(1/27) = 1/3

Now we want to express q = M/N = 1/3

then we have:

M = 1

N = 3

Now we want to compute M + N = 1 + 3 = 4

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.
