An unbiased coin is tossed to get 2 points for turning up a head and one point for the tail. If three unbiased coins are tossed simultaneously, then the probability of getting a total of odd number of points is

  1. A \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{4}\)
  3. C \(\frac{1}{8}\)
  4. D \(\frac{3}{8}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We are getting a odd number of point, if it will comes (two head, one tail and three tail) \[ \because \quad P(H)=P(T)=\frac{1}{2} \] \(\therefore\) Required probability \(=\) Probability of getting two heads and one tail + Probability of all three tails…
