The Total solution for NCERT class 6-12
A game consists oftossing a one rupee coin 3 times and noting its outcome each time.
Hanif wins if all the tosses give the same result i.e., three heads or three tails, and loses otherwise. Calculate the probability that Hanif will lose the game.
The total number of outcomes = 8 (HHH, HHT,HTH, THH, TTH, HTT, THT, TTT)
Total outcomes in which Hanif will lose thegame = 6 (HHT, HTH, THH, TTH, HTT, THT)
P (losing the game) = 6/8 = ¾ = 0.75
