उत्तर

When tossing a coin, the possible outcomes are head
and tail.

Total number of outcomes of heads and tails on tossing a coin 8 times is

= 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

= 28

The number of ways of getting six heads and 2 tails

= `(8!)/(6! xx 2!)`

= `(8 xx 7 xx 6!)/(6 xx 2 xx 1)`

= 4 × 7
= 28 ways
