PROBABILITY Worksheet #2
Part 2
A “run” is a repetition of Heads or Tails when you flip. For example, a “Run
of length 3” is either
HHH
or
TTT
and a “Run of length 5” is either
HHHHH
or
TTTTT.
Look at the previous page and your GUESS.
How many “Runs of Length 3” appear in your guess?
How many “Runs of Length 4” appear in your guess?
How many “Runs of Length 5” appear in your guess?
How many “Runs of Length 6” appear in your guess?
How many “Runs of Length 7” appear in your guess?
Now look at the previous page and look at your ACTUAL FLIPS.
How many “Runs of Length 3” appear in your actual flips?
How many “Runs of Length 4” appear in your actual flips?
How many “Runs of Length 5” appear in your actual flips?
How many “Runs of Length 6” appear in your actual flips?
How many “Runs of Length 7” appear in your actual flips?
