Three unbiased coins are totossed. The situation is as
follows:
No head : TTT......3C0 = 1 way only this can
happen
one head: HTT or THT or TTH = 3C1 = one of
these 3ways the event can happen
2heads: HHT
or HTH or THH = 3C2 = one of these 3 ways theis event can
happen
All 3 heads: HHH onyl 1 way this
event,
So in a toss of 3 unbiased coins, the above one of
the 4 types of event can happen in any one of 8 different ways. But getting atmost
2heads is the event of 1st type or2nd type or 3rd types in any one of 1+3+3
= 7 ways.
So probablity getting atmost 2 heads = Pr (0 head
or 1 head or 2heads ) = pr(0 head)+Pr(1head)+pr(2H) 1/8+3/8+3/8 = 7/8
