Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The probability of getting head \(=\frac{1}{2}\). The probability of getting head atleast once in \(n\) times. \(=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^2}+\ldots+\frac{1}{2^n}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\left(1-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n\right)}{1-\frac{1}{2}}\) \(=1-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n\) Given…
