The required probability is 0.171.
What is probability?
Probability means possibility. It is a branch of mathematics that deals with the occurrence of a random event. The value is expressed from zero to one.
We can find required Probability as shown:
From 10 coins we choose 7 he guessed correct with probability of each 1/2. For three remaining coins he failed to predict the outcomes of the flip with the probability of 1/2 for each. Similarly for 8,9 or 10 successive trials. Let X denote number of successive trials
[tex]P(X\geq 7)= \tbinom{10}{7}.\frac{1}{2^{10}}+\tbinom{10}{8}.\frac{1}{2^{10}} +\tbinom{10}{9}.\frac{1}{2^{10}}+\tbinom{10}{10}.\frac{1}{2^{10}}[/tex]
[tex]=120.\frac{1}{2^{10}} +45.\frac{1}{2^{10}} +10.\frac{1}{2^{10}} +.\frac{1}{2^{10}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{120+45+10+1}{2^{10}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{176}{1024}[/tex]
=0.171
Hence, the required probability is 0.171.

Given question is incomplete. This is complete question:
A man claims to have extrasensory perception. As a test, a fair coin is flipped 10 times and the man is asked to predict the outcome in advance. He gets 7 out of 10 correct. What is the probability that he would have done at least this well if he had no ESP?
