When a coin is tossed 6 times, the probability of getting more heads than tails is
Options
- A( 13 32 )
- B( 15 32 )
- C( 9 32 )
- D( 11 32 )
Correct answer
D. ( 11 32 )
Step-by-step solution
Total outcomes are (2^6=64 ) Required Probability (=P ) (Getting Four Heads) (+P ) (Getting 5 Heads) (+P ) (Getting 6 Heads) (= 6 ! 4 ! 2 ! 64 + 6 ! 5 ! 1 ! 64 + 6 ! 6 ! 64 = 15 64 + 6 64 + 1 64 = 11 32 ) Hence, option (d) is correct.
