Step 1:- Explanation
The probability that a fair coin is tossed and lands on heads is 12, just as it is for tails.
The probability that a fair coin is tossed and lands on heads 10 times is
Step 2
The probability that a fair coin is tossed and lands on tails 10 times is the same. So we add these to get the probability that all the outcomes are the same: 11024+12024=21024
we solve it through probability distribution,
So given that, n=10 and x=10
Probability of getting head, p=12
Probability of getting tail, q=12
From binomial distribution,
P(x)=nCxpxqnx
There are 2 persons so,
2P(10)=210C10(12)10(12)1010
=2(12)10=(12)9=1512
