A game consists of tossing a coin 3 times and noting the outcome each time. If getting the same result in all the tosses is a success, find the probability of losing the game.
उत्तर
Possible outcomes of tossing a coin three times will be
{HHH, TTT, HHT, HTH, THH, TTH, THT, HTT} = 8
Getting the same result in all tosses is a success.
We need to find the probability of losing the game that means not the same result in all tosses
Favourable outcomes are {HHT, HTH, THH, TTH, THT, HTT} = 6
Probability of losing a game = `(6)/(8) = (3)/(4)`
Therefore, the probability of losing a game is `(3)/(4)`.

In fig. 7 is shown a disc on which a player spins an arrow twice. The fraction `a/b` is formed, where 'a' is the number of sector on which arrow stops on the first spin and 'b' is the number of the sector in which the arrow stops on second spin. On each spin, each sector has equal chance of selection by the arrow. Find the probability that the fraction `a/b>1.`
