A coin is thrown 3 times. What is the probability that atleast one head is obtained?
A.
7/8
B.
3/8
C.
None the above
D.
1/8
Correct Answer: 7/8
Explanation
Sample space = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, TTH, THT, HTT, TTT}
Total number of possible outcomes = 2 x 2 x 2 = 8
favourable number of outcomes = 7
∴Pr(at least one head) = 7/8
