The probability that the total number of heads in all the coin tosses equals 12 is 0.0273.
Given a fair dice and tossing a fair coin sixteen times.
We have to find the probability that the total number of heads in all the coin tosses equals 12.
The probability lies between 0 and 1.
Probabiltiy of coming head when the coin is tossed 1 time is 0.5 and probability of coming tails is also 0.5.
Let X shows the sum of heads while tossing.
P(X=12)=?
We can find the probability using binomial theorem.
=[tex]16C_{12} (0.5)^{12} (0.5)^{2}[/tex]
We have to toss sixteen times and out of 16 times we need head 12 times.
=16!/12!4!*0.00024*0.0625
=1820*0.000015
=0.0273
Hence the probability that the total number of heads in all the coin tosses equals 12 is 0.0273.
