A coin is tossed 6 times. The probability that tail appears odd number of times is:
- A \(^6C_3 \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^6\)
- B \(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^6\)
- C \(\frac{1}{2}\)
- D \({ }^6 C_4\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^6\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\frac{1}{2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(P(\text{odd tails}) = P(X=1) + P(X=3) + P(X=5)\) \(P(X=k) = { }^6 C_k \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^k \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{6-k} = { }^6 C_k \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^6\) \(P(\text{odd tails}) = \left( { }^6 C_1 + { }^6 C_3 + { }^6 C_5 \right) \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^6\)…
