Question 28

An unfair coin has probability $p$ of coming up heads on a single toss. Let $w$ be the probability that, in $5$ independent tosses of this coin, heads come up exactly $3$ times. If $w=\frac{144}{625},$ then
  1. $p$ must be $\frac{2}{5}$
  2. $p$ must be $\frac{3}{5}$
  3. $p$ must be greater than $\frac{3}{5}$
  4. $p$ is not uniquely determined
  5. there is no value of $p$ for which $w=\frac{144}{625}$
