Amber has an unfair coin. The probability of throwing a tail is p. Amber throws the coin twice and the probability of throwing a head and then a tail is 6/25. Heads are more likely than tails. Show that 25p^2-25p+6=0 and find the value of p.
Tree diagramP(Head then tail) = p(1-p)=6/25Solve above equationp=2/5 as heads are more likely than tails.
