Answer:
0.0756,\ 0.7599

Explanation:

Given

Probability that a coin will land head is
0.3 i.e. probability of success is
p=0.3 So, the probability of failure is
q=1-0.3=0.7

Using Binomial distribution for
n=4

(a) Probability that the coin will lead heads exactly 3 times


\Rightarrow P(3)=^4C_3(0.3)^3(0.7)^1\\\Rightarrow P(3)=4* 0.7* (0.3)^3\\\Rightarrow P(3)=0.0756

(b)Probability that the coin lands head at least once


\Rightarrow 1-P(0)\\\Rightarrow 1-^4C_0(0.3)^0(0.7)^4\\\Rightarrow 1-1\cdot(0.7)^4\\\Rightarrow 0.7599
