Suppose six coins are flipped. Then the probability of getting at least one tail is
Updated On: Oct 1, 2024
- \((\frac{71}{72})\)
- \((\frac{53}{54})\)
- \((\frac{63}{44})\)
- \((\frac{1}{12})\)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The total number of possible outcomes when flipping six coins=\(2^6=64\)
Probability that no tail occurs=\(\frac{1}{64}\)
So, Probability of occurring at least one tail=\(1-\frac{1}{64}\)\(=\frac{63}{64}\)
The correct option is (C): \((\frac{63}{44})\)

- A bag contains \( 4 \frac{2}{3} \) dozens of candies, out of which \( a \) are lemon candies. If one candy is drawn at random from the bag, there is some probability that it will be a lemon candy. Now, \( 4 \frac{2}{3} \) dozen more lemon candies are put in the bag, and the probability of drawing a lemon candy will be \( 2 \frac{1}{2} \) times higher than in the first case. Find \( a \).
