For an unbaised coin, probability of getting head or tail are
\mathrm{ P(H)=\frac{1}{2} \text {, and } P(T)=\frac{1}{2} }
Coin is tossed five times. Hence the probability of getting at least one head
\mathrm{ P=1- } (Probability of not getting any head)

\mathrm{ =1-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^5=1-\frac{1}{32} }

\mathrm{ \Rightarrow P=\frac{31}{32} }
