Acoin tossed 4 times. The probability of getting atleast one head is
1. 1/16
2. 216
3. 14/16
4. 15/16
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Option 4: 15/16
Detailed Solution
Given:
A coin has been tossed 4 times
Calculation:
IF four coins are tossed, the total cases = 2*= 16
Ina toss, there are two possibilities, T or H
So, the probability of getting head = 1/2
The probability that at least one head turns up = 1- the probability that no head appears in four toss
= 1- the probability of getting tail in four toss.= 1-(1/2)*
3 1-(1/16)
3 (16-1)/16
315/16
= The probability of getting at least one head is 15/16.
