2. A man goes to visit his friend thirty miles away. He doesn’t mind speeding, so he travels at 60 miles per hour and arrives in half an hour. On the way back, however, he has a little trouble with his car, and it takes him an hour to reach home. What was his average speed for the round trip?

3. You have just tossed a coin that has come up heads for the tenth time in a row. What is the probability that it will come up heads the next time?
