Un biased coin is tossed 6 times. The probability of getting atmost 4 heads is

A

`(7)/(64)`

B

`(57)/(64)`

C

`(21)/(32)`

D

`(11)/(32)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Probability of gettting head `p=(1)/(2) ` and tail `=1/2`
Here n=6
`therefore P (X =x)=""^(6)C_(x) ((1)/(2))^(6)`
`+(x le 4)=1-P(x gt 4)=1-""^(5)C_(5)((1)/(2))^(5)((1)/(2))^(1)-""^(6)C_(6)((1)/(2))^(6)`
`=1-(""^(6)C_(5))/(2^(6))-(1)/(2^(6))=(57)/(64)`
