प्रश्न
In a game, the entry fee is Rs 5. The game consists of a tossing a coin 3 times. If one or two heads show, Sweta gets her entry fee back. If she throws 3 heads, she receives double the entry fees. Otherwise she will lose. For tossing a coin three times, find the probability that she just gets her entry fee.
उत्तर
Total possible outcomes of tossing a coin 3 times,
S = {(HHH), (TTT), (HTT), (THT), (TTH), (THH), (HTH), (HHT)}
∴ n(S) = 8
Let E3 = Event that Sweta gets her entry fee back
= Sweta gets heads one or two times
= {(HTT), (THT), (TTH), (HHT), (HTH), (THH)}
∴ n(E3) = 6
∴ `P(E_3) = (n(E_3))/(n(S)) = 6/8 = 3/4`
