  • question_answer
    Ten coins are tossed together, then the probability of getting at least 7 heads is

    A)  \[\frac{63}{256}\]

    B)  \[\frac{121}{172}\]

    C)  \[\frac{113}{512}\]

    D)  \[\frac{11}{64}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     Probability of getting head, \[p=\frac{1}{2}\] and probability of getting tail, \[q=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\therefore \]Required probability \[{{=}^{10}}{{C}_{7}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{7}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{3}}{{+}^{10}}{{C}_{8}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{8}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{2}}\] \[{{=}^{10}}{{C}_{9}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{9}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{1}}{{+}^{10}}{{C}_{10}}{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{10}}\] \[=120\times {{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{10}}+45{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{10}}+10{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{10}}+1{{\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}^{10}}\] \[=\frac{176}{1024}=\frac{11}{64}\]
