What is the probability of flipping a coin 10 times and getting heads 5 times?Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.A. 24.6%B. 20.5%C. 11.7%D. 3.1%

Respuesta :

Answer: A. 24.6%

Explanation

The probability of flipping a coin 10 times and getting heads 5 is given as:

[tex]P=\frac{no.\text{ of succes}}{total\text{ outcomes}}[/tex]

Therefore, the probability of getting one head in one turn is 1/2. Then:

[tex]P=\frac{10C5}{2^{10}}=0.246[/tex]

Multiplying times the percent:

[tex]0.246\times100\%=24.6\%[/tex]
