Answer:

1/32

15/32

Step-by-step explanation:

For a fair sided coin,

Probability of heads, P(H) = 1/2

Probability of tails P(T)  = 1/2

For a coin tossed 5 times,

P( All heads)

= P(HHHHH),

= P (H) x P(H) x P(H) x P(H) x P(H)

= (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2)

= 1/32 (Ans)

For part B, it is easier to just list the possible outcomes for

"at most 2 heads" aka "could be 1 head" or "could be 2 heads"

"One Head" Outcomes:

P(HTTTT), P(THTTT) P(TTHTT), P(TTTHT), P(TTTTH)

"2 Heads" Outcomes:

P(HHTTT), P(HTHTT), P(HTTHT), P(HTTTH), P(THHTT), P(THTHT), P(THTTH), P(TTHHT), P(TTHTH), P(TTTHH)

If we count all the possible outcomes, we get 15 possible outcomes representing "at most 2 heads)

we know that each outcome has a probability of 1/32

hence 15 outcomes for "at most 2 heads" have a probability of

(1/32) x 15  = 15/32

|\Omega|=2^5=32

1.

|A|=1\\P(A)=\dfrac{1}{32}=3.125\%

2.

|A|=1+5+10=16\\P(A)=\dfrac{16}{32}=\dfrac{1}{2}=50\%
