Three unbiased coins are tossed. What is the probability of getting at least 2 heads? |
$\frac{1}{8}$ $\frac{1}{4}$ $\frac{1}{2}$ $\frac{1}{3}$ |
$\frac{1}{2}$ |
The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{1}{2}$ Total number of outcomes when 3 unbiased coins are tossed: $2^3 = 8$ Sample space: {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT} Favorable outcomes for "at least 2 heads":
Number of favorable outcomes = 4 Required probability: $\frac{4}{8} = \frac{1}{2}$ |
