Rahim tosses two different coins simultaneously. Find the probability of getting at least one tail.


Given: Rahim tosses two coins simultaneously. 

To do: To find the probability of getting at least one tail.

Solution:

Rahim tosses two coins simultaneously. 

The sample space of the experiment is$( HH,\ HT,\ TH,\ and\ TT)$. 

Total number of outcomes $=\ 4$

 Outcomes in favor of getting at least one tail on tossing the two coins $=\ ( HT,\ TH,\ TT)$

 Number of outcomes in favor of getting at least one tail $=\ 3$

 Probability of getting at least one tail on tossing the two coins$=\frac{Total\ number\ of\ favorable\ outcomes}{Total\ number\ of\ outcomes}$

$=\frac{3}{4}$

Hence, The probability of getting at least one tail is $\frac{3}{4}$.
