Question

List the following outcomes in descending order
(A) Probability of a head when one coin is tossed
(B) Probability of 5 heads when 10 coins are tossed independently
(C) Probability of 10 heads when 20 coins are tossed independently
(D) Probability of 50 heads when 100 coins are tossed independently
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. (A), (B), (C), (D)
• B. (D), (C), (A), (B)
• C. (B), (D), (A), (C)
• D. (C), (D), (B), (A)

Hint:

The probability of specific outcomes decreases as the number of coins increases, especially for a precise number of heads in the binomial distribution.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

A single coin toss yields the highest probability (50) of observing a head.
The likelihood of obtaining a specific number of heads decreases as more coins are tossed, a phenomenon explained by the binomial distribution.
Consequently, the correct order is (A), (B), (C), (D).
