2. What is the probability that “HEAD” comes at least 3 times when we toss a FAIR COIN 10?

1 n

n!
C kn=
k ! ( n−k ) !

Probability appearing at least 3 heads:

P ( x ≥ 3 )=P ( x=3 ) + P ( x=4 ) + P ( x =5 ) + P ( x=6 ) + P ( x =7 ) + P ( x =8 ) + P ( x =9 ) + P ( x=10 )

Answer: Probability that “HEAD” comes at least 3 times when we toss a FAIR COIN 10 is
0.9453
