A fair coin is tossed 8 times Find the probability it comes
A fair coin is tossed 8 times. Find the probability it comes up heads exactly 6 limes. a) 7/32 b) 7/128 c) 7/64 d)7/256
Solution
No. of times we get 6 heads in tossing 8 coins = 8C6=28
Total number of outcomes (possiblities) when we toss 8 coins=28=256
Probability of getting 6 heads in tossing 8 coins = 28/256
=7/64
so, (c) is the correct answer.
