Question

What is the probability of flipping exactly 6 heads when you flip 6 coins? Please explain your answer and those who waste an answer space shall be reported. Also the best answer will get brainliest

Answer 1

Binomial probability states that the probability of x successes on n repeated trials in an experiment which has two possible outcomes can be obtained by

(nCx).(p^x)⋅((1−p)^(n−x))

Where success on an individual trial is represented by p.

In the given question, obtaining heads in a trial is the success whose probability is 1/2.

Probability of 6 heads with 6 trials = (6C6).((1/2)^6).((1/2)^(6–6))

= 1/(2^6)

= 1/64
