12. Two unbiased coins are tossed. Calculate the probability of getting
a) Exactly two heads
b) At least two tails
c) At most two tails
When 2 unbiased coins are tossed together, then the sample space is given by
S =
Therefore n (S) = 4
F be the event of getting exactly 2 heads.
F = {HH}
n (F) = 1
G be the event of getting atleast 2 tails.
G = {TT}
n (G) = 1
Let E be the event of getting at-most 2 tails.
then, E = event of getting 0 tail or 1 tail or 2 tail.
or E =
Therefore, n (E) = 4
Thus,
P (getting exactly 2 heads) =
P (getting atleast 2 tails) =
P (getting at-most 2 tails) =
S =
Therefore n (S) = 4
F be the event of getting exactly 2 heads.
F = {HH}
n (F) = 1
G be the event of getting atleast 2 tails.
G = {TT}
n (G) = 1
Let E be the event of getting at-most 2 tails.
then, E = event of getting 0 tail or 1 tail or 2 tail.
or E =
Therefore, n (E) = 4
Thus,
P (getting exactly 2 heads) =
P (getting atleast 2 tails) =
P (getting at-most 2 tails) =
