Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 4 : 15/16

Given:

A coin has been tossed 4 times.

Calculation:

If four coins are tossed, the total cases = 24 = 16

In a toss, there are two possibilities, T or H

So, the probability of getting head = 1/2

The probability that at least one head turns up = 1- the probability that no head appears in four toss

⇒ 1- the probability of getting tail in four toss

⇒ 1- (1/2)4

⇒ 1- (1/16)

⇒ (16-1)/16

⇒ 15/16

∴ The probability of getting at least one head is 15/16.
