A fair coin is tossed n−n - times such that the probability of getting at least one head is at least 0.9.0 . 9 . Then the minimum value of nn is _______.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

When a coin is tossed, then probability of head, P(Head)=P(Tail)=12P\left(\text{Head}\right) = P\left(\text{Tail}\right) = \dfrac{1}{2}

Therefore, 1−P1 - P (All tail)≥0.9\ge 0 . 9

⇒1−(12)n≥0.9⇒ 1 - {\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)}^{n} \ge 0 . 9

⇒(12)n≤110⇒ {\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\right)}^{n} \le \dfrac{1}{10}

⇒ {n}_\min = 4 .
