Coins (all denominated in centavos and macutas) were unaffected by the reform. very tricky svslav, very tricky indeed. My main source for this type of data comes from krause, which by default tells you I wouldn't have gotten this! They make no mention of a parallel currency in Angola. Very nice work wd |

Question 3 (It's a quickie tonight.)
A fair coin was randomly tossed 99 times, every single time it landed HEADS up. If the coin is to be tossed again, for the 100th time, what is the chance, in percent, that it will turn HEADS up again?

The key word here is a fair coin. That means that for every toss it has 50 -- 50 chance of turning HEADS or TAILS. The information about the prior 99 tosses was irrelevant (and, frankly, was given to confuse you).

In fact for a fair coin it is virtually impossible to turn HEADS 99 times in a row, because it's a one in a 633,825,300,114,114,700,748,351,602,688, where the 30-figure number is so huge we have hard time comprehending it. I can put it this way. If you take this many strands of human hair you'll get a bundle of diameter over a half light year.
