Three unbiased coins are tossed. What is the probability of getting at most two heads ?

A. 3/4

B. 1/4

C. 3/8

D. 7/8

Answer : D. 7/8…

Explanation:

Here, S = {TTT, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, HTH, HHT, HHH}
Let E = event of getting at most two heads.
Then E = {TTT, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, HTH, HHT}
P(E) = n(E)/n(S)
= 7/8.
