A thick coin has probability of falling heads, of falling tails, and of standing on
edge. Show that if it is tossed repeatedly it has probability 1 of eventually standing
on edge.
Answers
Answer:
The theory of probability has many applications in the physical sciences. It is of
basic importance in quantum mechanics where results may be expressed in terms
of probabilities (see Chapter 13, Schrödinger equation). It is needed whenever we
are dealing with large numbers of particles or variables where it is impossible or
impractical to have complete information about each one. such as in kinetic theory
and statistical mechanics and a great variety of engineering problems. Statistics is
the part of probability theory which deals with the interpretation of sets of data.
You need statistical terms and methods every time you make a set of laboratory
measurements. In this chapter. we shall discuss some of the basic ideas of probability
