If an unbiased coin is tossed 10 times, probability of obtaining more head than tail is :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

P(more heads than tails) =∑k=610(10k)/210= \sum_{k=6}^{10}\binom{10}{k}/2^{10}. (106)+(107)+(108)+(109)+(1010)=210+120+45+10+1=386\binom{10}{6}+\binom{10}{7}+\binom{10}{8}+\binom{10}{9}+\binom{10}{10} = 210+120+45+10+1 = 386. Probability =3861024=193512= \frac{386}{1024} = \frac{193}{512}.
