A coin is tossed `2n` times. The chance that the number of times one gets head is not equal to the number of times one gets tails is `((2n !))/((n !)^2)(1/2)^(2n)` b. `1-((2n !))/((n !)^2)` c. `1-((2n !))/((n !)^2)1/(4^n)^` d. none of these

A

`((2n!))/((n!)^(2))((1)/(2))^(2n)`

B

`1-((2n!))/((n!)^(2))`

C

`1-((2n!))/((n!)^(2))(1)/(4^(n))`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

The required probability is
1- probability of getting equal number of heads and tails
`=1-""^(2n)C_(n)((1)/(2))^(n)((1)/(2))^(2n-n)`
`=1-((2n)!)/((n!)^(2))xx(1)/(4^(n))`
