Answer:


\text{Probability of atleast two heads is}=(11)/(16)

Explanation:

We have total of 16 possible outcomes for flipping of four coins

We need to find the probability when atleast two head comes that means it should be atleast 2 head means it can be more than 2 so, can be 3 or 4 also

We will consider the cases of 2,3,4 heads on coins

So, the cases of 2 heads are HHTT ,HTHT ,HTTH, THHT ,THTH ,TTHH =6 outcomes

The case of 3 heads are HHHT ,HHTH ,HTHH, THHH=4 outcomes

The case of 4 heads are HHHH=1 outcome

So, the probability of atleast two head will be 6+4+1=11


\text{Probability of atleast two heads is}=(11)/(16)
