Step-by-step explanation

Probability is simply the ratio of


P=\frac{number\text{ of possible outcomes}}{number\text{ of total outcomes}}

The number of total outcomes is 16 as given in the image

The number of possible outcomes is the number of having at least 2 heads is shown below

Thus, we have the probability as


P=(11)/(16)

a fair coin will be tossed four times. the possible outcomes are shown below.it says-example-1
