Question

For two coins tossed, what does the condition “At most one tail” mean?

पर्याय

• 1 or more tails, giving \(\{HT, TH, TT\}\) with \(n = 3\)

• 0 heads, giving \(\{TT\}\) with \(n = 1\)

• Exactly 1 head, giving \(\{HT, TH\}\) with \(n = 2\)

• 0 or 1 tail, giving \(\{HH, HT, TH\}\) with \(n = 3\)

Answer 1

“At most one” means 0 or 1 tail. Hence the qualifying outcomes are \(HH\), \(HT\), and \(TH\).
