उत्तर

Five fair coins are tossed simultaneously. The probability of the events that at least one head comes up is `underlinebb(31/32)`.

Explanation:

Total cases = 25 = 32

One of the cases will be all three tails.

So remaining 31 cases are valid.

∴ P(event getting at least one head) = `31/32`.
