three unbaised coins are tossed together. find the probability of getting :
I) all heads
II) exactly two heads
III) at least two heads
IV) almost to heads
Answers
Answer:Sample space of tossing 3 coins together (Set of total possible events know as sample space)
S = {HHH , HHT , HTH , THH , TTH , THT , HTT , TTT }
n(S) = 8
i) One head
Events having one head,
E = {TTH , THT , HTT}
n(E) = 3
Hence,
Probability of getting one head = n(E)/n(S) = 3/8
ii)Two heads
Events having two head,
E = {THH ,HHT , HTH}
n(E) = 3
Hence,
Probability of getting one head = n(E)/n(S) = 3/8
(iii) All heads
Events having all heads,
E = {HHH}
n(E) = 1
Hence,
Probability of getting one head = n(E)/n(S) = 1/8
(iv) at least two heads:- It means that at heads two heads or more that two as more as possible.
Events having at least two heads,
E = {HHT, HHT , HTH , HHH}
n(E) = 4
Hence,
Probability of getting one head = n(E)/n(S) = 4/8 = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(i) 1/8
=} Total outcome =8
no. of favourable outcome= 1
So,that is 1/8.
{H,H,H},{H,H,T},{H,T,T},{T,H,H},{T,H,T}{H,TT},{T,T,T},{H,T,H}.
there is total 8 outcome.
(ii) Favourable outcome =3
so, probability is 3/8
(iii) at least 2 head means 2 head or more than 2 head .
favourable outcome=4
probability is 4/8
(iv) at most two head means 2 head or less than 2 head.
so, favourable outcome is 7
probability is 7/8
