Read Solution (Total 2)
-
- the probability of showing at least once is equal to the probability not showing head
= 1 - 8C0/ 2^8
= 1 - 1/256
= 255/256 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- coin tossed 8 times ,
Then Sample space is = 2^8 = 256
The sample space of getting no Head = 1
The sample space of at least once head = 256-1 =255
probability that it shows heads at least once =255/256 =0.99609375
