Question
A coin is tossed live times. What is the probability that there is at the least one tail?
Answer: Option A
Let P(T) be the probability of getting least one tail when the coin is tossed five times.
$$P\left( {\overline T } \right)$$ = There is not even a single tail.
i.e. all the outcomes are heads.
$$\eqalign{
& P\left( {\overline T } \right) = \frac{1}{{32}} \cr
& P\left( T \right) = 1 - \frac{1}{{32}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{31}}{{32}} \cr} $$
