If a coin is tossed seven times, then the probability of getting exactly three heads such that no two heads occur consecutively is

  1. A \(\frac{5}{64}\)
  2. B \(\frac{5}{32}\)
  3. C \(\frac{5}{128}\)
  4. D \(\frac{35}{128}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{5}{64}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Total outcomes = \(2^7=128\) Favorable outcomes (no two heads consecutive) = \( \binom{7-3+1}{3} = \binom{5}{3} = \frac{5 \times 4}{2 \times 1} = 10 \) Probability = \( \frac{10}{128} = \frac{5}{64} \)
