Question

A game consists of tossing a one rupee coin 3 times and noting the outcome each time.Ramesh will win the game if all the tosses show the same result, that is either all three heads or all three tails and losses the game otherwise.Find the probability that Ramesh will lose the game.

Answer 1

Answer:

3/4  

Step-by-step explanation:  

The possible outcomes are

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

Number of total possible outcomes = 8  

Number of favorable outcomes = 2 {i.e. TTT and HHH}

 P (Ramesh will win the game)

= 2/8  

P (Ramesh will lose the game)

= 1 - 2/8

= 6/8

=3/4
