    Question

    ‘A’ and ‘B’ play a game in which a coin is tossed 4

    times. ‘A’ wins if at least 3 heads appear. Find the probability that ‘A’ wins.
    A 1/4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1/2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 5/16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3/8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total number of outcomes = 2 4 = 16
    3 heads = C(4,3) = 4
    4 heads = C(4,4) = 1
    Total favourable = 4 + 1 = 5
    Probability that ‘A’ wins = 5/16
