Question:

Two coins are tossed together. What is the probability of getting atmost one tail?

Options:

1

$\frac{3}{4}$

$\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{4}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Explanation:

2 coins are tossed , possible outcomes :- HH , HT , TH , TT

Total outcomes = 4

At most one tail :- HH , HT , TH

Possible outcomes = 3

Probability of getting at most one tail = \(\frac{ No. \; of \;Possible \; outcomes\;}{Total\; no.\; of\; outcomes\;}\)

 = \(\frac{3}{4}\)

The correct answer is Option (2) → $\frac{3}{4}$
