As we learned

 

Probability of Distribution of the Random Variable -

If the value of a random variable together with the corresponding probabilities are given then this description is called a probability distribution of the random variable.

-

 

 At any trial four cases arise

(i)  both A and B get head                    (ii) A gets head, B gets tail

                 (iii) A gets tail, B gets head  (iv) both get tail

Þ         P(they do not get head simultaneously on a particular trail = \frac{3}{4}

Þ         P(they do not get heads simultaneously in 50 trials) = \left ( \frac{3}{4} \right )^{50}


Option 1)

\left ( \frac{3}{4} \right )^{50}

 

 

 

Option 2)

\left ( \frac{2}{7} \right )^{50}

Option 3)

\left ( \frac{1}{8} \right )^{50}

Option 4)

\left ( \frac{7}{8} \right )^{50}
