Three unbiased coins are tossed once. Find the probability of getting at most 2 tails

Answer : We know that,

Probability of occurrence of an event


Total possible outcomes = TTT, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, HTH, HHT, HHHLet T be tails and H be heads

Desired outcomes are at most two tails. So, desired outputs are THH, HTH, HHT, TTH, THT, HTT, HHH

Total no.of outcomes are 8 and desired outcomes are 7 Therefore, the probability of getting at most 2 tails

Conclusion: Probability of getting at most two tails is 7/9
