Let $X$ denotes the number of heads in a simultaneous toss of three coins, then $P (0 < x < 3)$ is |
$\frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{3}{4}$ $\frac{7}{8}$ 1 |
$\frac{3}{4}$ |
The correct answer is Option (2) → $\frac{3}{4}$ Possible outcomes when three coins are tossed: HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT Number of total outcomes = 8 Let $X$ = number of heads $X$ can take values 0, 1, 2, 3 $P(0 < X < 3)$ means $X = 1$ or $X = 2$ Favorable outcomes for $X=1$: HTT, THT, TTH → 3 outcomes Favorable outcomes for $X=2$: HHT, HTH, THH → 3 outcomes Total favorable = 6 $P(0 < X < 3) = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}$ $P(0 < X < 3) = \frac{3}{4}$ |
