{\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Given :}}}}}}

‣ A coin is tossed three times.

{\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{To \: Find :}}}}}}

‣ The probability of getting,

1) Exactly 3 tails

2) At most 2 heads

3) At least 2 tails

4) Exactly 2 heads

5) Exactly 3 heads

{\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Using \: Formula :}}}}}}

\star \: \tt  P(E)= {\underline{\boxed{\sf{\red{  \dfrac{ Favourable \:  outcomes }{Total \:  outcomes}  }}}}}

{\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Solution :}}}}}}

★ When three coins are tossed,

then the sample space = {HHH, HHT, THH, TTH, HTH, HTT, THT, TTT}

[here H denotes head and T denotes tail]

⇒Total number of outcomes \tt [ \: n(s) \: ] = 8

<u>1) Exactly 3 tails </u>

Here

• Favourable outcomes = {HHH} = 1

• Total outcomes = 8

\therefore  \sf Probability_{(exactly  \: 3 \:  tails)}  =  \red{ \dfrac{1}{8}}

<u>2) At most 2 heads</u>

[It means there can be two or one or no heads]

Here

• Favourable outcomes = {HHT, THH, HTH, TTH, HTT, THT, TTT} = 7

• Total outcomes = 8

\therefore  \sf Probability_{(at \: most  \: 2 \:  heads)}  =  \green{ \dfrac{7}{8}}

<u>3) At least 2 tails </u>

[It means there can be two or more tails]

Here

• Favourable outcomes = {TTH, TTT, HTT, THT} = 4

• Total outcomes = 8

\longrightarrow   \sf Probability_{(at \: least \: 2 \:  tails)}  =  \dfrac{4}{8}

\therefore  \sf Probability_{(at \: least \: 2 \:  tails)}  =   \orange{\dfrac{1}{2}}

<u>4) Exactly 2 heads </u>

Here

• Favourable outcomes = {HTH, THH, HHT } = 3

• Total outcomes = 8

\therefore  \sf Probability_{(exactly \: 2 \:  heads)}  =  \pink{ \dfrac{3}{8}}

<u>5) Exactly 3 heads</u>

Here

• Favourable outcomes = {HHH} = 1

• Total outcomes = 8

\therefore  \sf Probability_{(exactly \: 3 \:  heads)}  =  \purple{ \dfrac{1}{8}}

Answer:

  x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The similarity statement tells you corresponding sides have the same ratio.

  AB/BC = FE/EC

  x/10 = 6/5

  x = 10(6/5)

  x = 12
