10 coins are tossed simultaneously. Find the probability of getting
(i) exactly 3 heads
(ii) not more than 4 heads
(iii) at least 4 heads
(i) As 10 coins are tossed simultaneously the total number of outcomes are =1024.
the favourable outcomes of getting exactly 3 heads will be
10C3 = 120
Thus, the probability
Hence, the probability is .
(ii) As 10 coins are tossed simultaneously the total number of outcomes are =1024.
the favourable outcomes of getting not more than 4 heads will be
10C0 + 10C1 + 10C2 + 10C3 + 10C4 = 386
Thus, the probability
⇒
Hence, the probability is .
(iii) As 10 coins are tossed simultaneously the total number of outcomes are =1024.
the favourable outcomes of getting at least 4 heads will be
10C4 + 10C5 + 10C6 + 10C7 + 10C8 + 10C9 + 10C10 = 848
Thus, the probability
⇒
Hence, the probability is .
