A fair coin is tossed-at a fixed number of times. If the probability of getting exactly 3 heads equals the probability of getting exactly 5 heads, then the probability of getting exactly one head is

  • 1/64

  • 1/32

  • 1/16

  • 1/8


B.

1/32

Let the coin be tossed n times.

Let getting head is consider to be success.

 p = 12, q = 1 - p = 1 - 12 = 12

It is given that,

P(X = 3) = P(X = 5)

 C3n12312n - 3 = C5n12512n - 5 C3n = C5n n = 3 + 5           Cxn = Cyn  x +y = n n = 8

Now P(X = 1) = C18121128 - 1

                        = C18 × 128                        = 132
