If a fair coin is tossed twice, what is the probability of obtaining at least one head?
A
0.25
B
0.75
C
0.5
D
0.33
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
OR
When a coin is tossed twice, the sample space is given by S ={HH HT TH TT} and the event of obtaining at least a head is provided by A ={HH HT TH}.
Therefore the probability of getting at least a head is given by:
P = n(A) \div n(S)
P = 3 \div 4
P = 0.75
