Question
Three unbiased coins are tossed. What is the probability of getting at most two heads?
Answer: Option D
Getting at most Two heads means 0 to 2 but not more than 2
Here S = {TTT, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, HTH, HHT, HHH}
Let E = event of getting at most two heads
Then E = {TTT, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, HTH, HHT}
$$\therefore P\left( E \right) = \frac{{n\left( E \right)}}{{n\left( S \right)}} = \frac{7}{8}$$
