    A coin is tossed n times, then the probability of getting head odd number of times is

    A)  \[\frac{1}{4}\]

    B)  \[{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{n}}\]

    C)  \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    D)  \[\frac{3}{8}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[\therefore \]Required probability \[{{=}^{n}}{{C}_{1}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{1}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{n-1}}{{+}^{n}}{{C}_{3}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{3}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{n-3}}+...\] \[={{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{n}}{{.2}^{n-1}}=\frac{1}{2}\]
