Expert Answer
If two unbiased coins are tossed simultaneously, following outcomes are obtained:
TT, TH, HT, HH
Total number of elementary events = 4
1) Two tails are obtained if the elemnetary event TT occur.
Favourable number of elementary events = 1
Hence required probability = 1/4.
2)One tail is obtained if any one of the following elementary events occur:
HT, TH
Favourable number of elementary events = 2
Hence required probability = 2/4 = 1/2
3)No tail is obtained if the elementary event HH occurs
Favourable number of elementary events = 1
Hence required probability = 1/4.
4)At least one tail is obtained if any of the following elementary events occur:
TT, TH, HT
Favourable number of elementary events = 3
Hence required probability = 3/4.
5)If one of the elementary events HT, TH, TT occurs , we say that at most one tail is obtained.
Favourable number of elementary events = 3
Hence required probability = 3/4.
