Problem
A biased coin shows heads with probability 0.6 on any single toss. The coin is tossed 5 times.
(i) Find the probability that no head appears in the 5 tosses.
(ii) Hence compute the probability that at least one head appears in the 5 tosses.
(iii) If the first toss is known to be a tail, determine the probability that at least one head appears in the remaining tosses.
