Let and be two biased coins such that the probabilities of getting head in a single toss are and , respectively. Suppose is the number of heads that appear when is tossed twice, independently, and suppose is the number of heads that appear when is tossed twice, independently. Then the probability that the roots of the quadratic polynomial are real and equal, is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
For tossing two coins independently, maximum and minimum heads that can appear will be respectively.
Roots of equation are real and equal, then discriminant
Thus, the required probability
