(b) What is the probability that Valeria has three heads on her first turn?
Ans:- Assuming that Valeria is flipping a fair coin, the probability of getting a heads on any given flip is 0.5 (or 1/2).
The probability of getting three heads in a row on the first three flips is the product of the probabilities of each individual flip coming up heads, since the flips are independent of each other:
P(three heads on first turn) = P(heads) * P(heads) * P(heads) = 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.125 or 12.5%
Therefore, the probability that Valeria has three heads on her first turn is 0.125 or 12.5%.
