A person tosses a coin 20 times. In how many ways can he get exactly 13 tails?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

2^13 i think

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you could set up a binomial probability table

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2^13 sounds a bit too much, but I am not sure

OpenStudy (amistre64):

77520 i believe is the binomial coefficient to 20 c 13

OpenStudy (amistre64):

77520 is what im sticking with :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is even more than 2^13

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lol ... it is :)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

20c0 ways to get no tails 20c1 to get 1 tail 20c2 to get 2 tails etc ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That sounds good for me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20C13 (or 20C7) looks good to me.
