Question

Three coins are tossed together. Find the probability of getting no tails

Advertisements

Solution

When 3 coins are tossed together,

Total no. of possible outcomes = 8 {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH,THT, TTH, TTT}

Probability of an event =`"No.of favorable outcomes"/"Total no.of possible outcomes"`

E ⟶ getting no tails

No. of favourable outcomes = 1 {HHH}

Total no. of possible outcomes = 8

P(E) =1/8
