Example #1 – Probability problem on Coin

If we toss a single coin on the air, what will be the probability of getting head?

  1. 0/2
  2. 1/2
  3. 2/2
  4. 1/1

Answer: Option (B)
How to Solve
Here n(S) is total number of possible outcomes.
So,
S = { H, T }.

n(E) is total number of required outcomes.
So,
n(E) = 1{H}.

And, P(E) is probability of event.
P(E) = n(E) / n(S)
= 1/2.

Example #2 – Probability problem on Coin

Two coins are impartial way throw on air and find the probability of at least one head.

  1. 1/4
  2. 2/4
  3. 3/4
  4. 4/4

Answer: Option (C)
How to Solve
Here n(S) is total number of possible outcomes.
So,
S = { HH, HT, TH, TT }.

E = Event of getting at most one head.
E = { HH, HT, TH }.

So, P(E) = n(E) / n(S)
= 3/4.

Example #3 – Probability problem on Coin

If we tossed simultaneously two coins. Find the probability of exactly one tail.

  1. 1/2
  2. 2/2
  3. 2/3
  4. 3/4

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (A)
How to Solve
Sample space S = { HH, HT, TH, TT }
Number of cases = 4.
Favorable cases HT, TH.
So, probability of exactly one tail,
= 2/4
= 1/2.

  4. 2/8

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (B)
How to Solve
Sample space S = { HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THT, TTH, THH, TTT }
Number of cases = 8.
Probability number of no heads = probability number of tails
= 1/8.

Example #5 – Probability problem on Coin

Three coins are tossed find the probability of at least two heads.

  1. 1/2
  2. 1/4
  3. 1/8
  4. 2/8

Answer: Option (A)
How to Solve
sample space S = { HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THT, TTH, THH, TTT }
Number of cases = 8
Favorable cases = HHT, HTH, THH, HHH.
probability of at least two head is,
= 4/8
= 1/2.

Example #6

We tossed four coins find the probability of four tails.

  1. 1/2
  2. 1/4
  3. 1/8
  4. 1/16

Answer: Option (D)
How to Solve
There are sixteen possibility of outcomes.
Sample space S = { HHHH, HHHT, HHTH, HTHH, THHH, HHTT,HTHT, HTTH, THTH, TTHH, THHT, TTTH, TTHT, THTT, HTTT, TTTT }
Here is only favorable cases TTTT.
So, probability of four tails is,
= 1/16.

Example #7

If two coins are tossed, then what is the probability of the appearing of at most one head?

  1. 1/4
  2. 2/4
  3. 3/4
  4. 4/4

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (C)
How to Solve
n( S ) = 4 = { TT, HT, TH, HH }
Probability of the appearing of at most one head is,
= { TT, HT, TH }
p( E ) = 3/4.

Example #8

Two coins are tossed. What is the probability of appearing at most two head?

  1. 1/4
  2. 2/4
  3. 3/4
  4. 4/4

Show Answer Show How to Solve Open Rough Workspace

Answer: Option (D)
How to Solve
n( S ) = 4 = { TT, HT, TH, HH }
Probability of the appearing of at most two head is,
= { TT, HT, TH, HH },
n( E ) = 4.
So, p( E ) = 4/4.
