प्रश्न

Three different coins are tossed together. Find the probability of getting at least two heads.

उत्तर

When three coins are tossed together, the possible outcomes are

HHH, HTH, HHT, THH, THT, TTH, HTT, TTT

∴ Total number of possible outcomes = 8

Favourable outcomes of at least two heads are HHH, HTH, HHT, THH

∴ Total number of favourable outcomes = 4

∴ P(at least two heads) =`4/8=1/2`
