Three unbiased coins are tossed. What is the probability of getting at most two heads?

$\frac { 3 } {4}$

$\frac { 1 } {4}$

$\frac { 3 } {8}$

$\frac { 7 } {8}$

Answer : Option D

Explanation :

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}.

P(E) = $\frac { n(E) } { n(S)}$ = $\frac { 7 } {8}$
