Four coins are tossed simultaneously. what is the probability that exactly 2 coins land on heads? make it as an %
total outcomes =2*2*2*2=16 possible outcomes = possible outcomes = TTTT TTTH TTHT TTHH THTT THTH THHT THHH HTTT HTTH HTHT HTHH HHTT HHTH HHHT HHHH
there are \(2^4=16\) possible outcomes when you toss four coins 16 is not such a big number that we couldn't list them all but it might be easier to know that 16 is your denominator and \(_4C_2\) is your numerator do you know how to compute that number? "four choose two"
now choose that in which exactly 2 coins land on heads =5
now, \[\large \bf probability=\frac{favourable~outcomes}{total~outcomes}=\frac{5}{16}\]
as you want in percent ,multiply by 100, \[\large \bf \frac{5}{16} \times 100=31.25~percent\]
hope you understand ! @norajayy
understood ??? @norajayy
i get it alittle but im still confused i need more practice and its not right 31.25% should i put 0.3125%
yeah... put this`
0.3125
we need probability !!
