Problem

Flip a biased coin and find the probability of getting HH.

Assume the coin is flipped twice, independently, with probability of heads on each flip equal to 0.6. Compute the probability that both flips are heads.

Requirements

  1. Write the probability expression for getting HH.
  2. Calculate the numerical probability.
  3. State the result as a decimal and a percentage.

Assumptions

  • The two flips are independent.
  • The probability of heads is the same on both flips.
