`Aa n dB` toss a fair coin each simultaneously 50 times. The probability that both of them will not get tail at the same toss is `(3//4)^(50)` b. `(2//7)^(50)` c. `(1//8)^(50)` d. `(7//8)^(50)`

A

`(3//4)^(50)`

B

`(2//7)^(50)`

C

`(1//8)^(50)`

D

`(7//8)^(50)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

For each toss, there are four choices:
(i) A gets head, B gets head
(ii) A gets tail, B gets head
(iii) A gets head, B gets tail
(iv) A gets tail, B gets tail
Thus, exhaustive number of ways is `4^(50)`. Out of the four choices listed above, (iv) is not favorable to the required event in a toss. Therefore, favorable number of cases is `3^(50)`. Hence, the required probability is `(3//4)^(50)`.
