The probability of an event of getting more than two heads in tossing two coins is
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:Answer: 1/4 = 25% probability
The probability that the coin when tossed turns up heads is 1/2. This means that when the coin is tossed, the probability of tails is 1 – 1/2 = 1/2.
When the coin is tossed twice, the probability of getting only tails is 1/2* 1/2 = 1/4. The probability of getting at least one heads is 1 – 1/4 = 3/4.
Now, we have to remember that the probability of getting a heads equal to 1/2 does not mean that for every two tosses, one is definitely going to be heads and the other tails. Though if we continue to toss the coin a very large number of times, we will find that the number of times it turns up tails is very close to the number of times it turns up heads.
So if you do not get a tails the first time you shouldn’t bet all your money on tails the next time as the probability of your losing all your money remains the same, 1/2
