Problema Solution

if four coins are tossed, what is the probability that four heads will not come up ?

Answer provided by our tutors

let


A is the event: all four heads came up


not A is the opposite event: four head did not come up


p(A) + p(not A) = 1


p(A) = 1/2^4


p(A) = 1/16


1/16 + p(not A) = 1


p(not A) = 1 - 1/16


p(not A) = 15/16


p(not A) = 0.9375


the probability that four heads will not come up is 0.9375.
