  1. If three coins are tossed simultaneously, the probability of getting at least one head is
    1. 1
      8
    2. 3
      8
    3. 1
      2
    4. 7
      8

Correct Option: D

Let probability of getting atleast one head = P(H) then P(at least one head) = 1 – P (no head)
⇒ P(H) = 1– P(all tails)
But in all cases, 23 = 8

∴ P(H) = 1 -
1
=
7
88

Alternately: Probability of getting at least one head
