Question
A coin is tossed indefinitely. Probability that the fourth head occurs before the sixth toss is equal to -
Options
A.1/16
B.2/16
C.3/16
D.4/16
Solution
First five tosses must contain either 4H + 1T or 5H
⇒ Required probability = P(4H + 1T) + P(5H)
= 5C4 ×
⇒ Required probability = P(4H + 1T) + P(5H)
= 5C4 ×
