Correct Answer - C Let p be the probability of getting a tial in a sigle trial. Then, p 1 2 =q. Let X denote the number of tails in 10 trials. Then, -P(X=r)=.10Cr( 1 2 )10 ∴ Probability of getting a tail most of the times =P(X≥6)= 10 ∑ r=6 P(X=r)= 1 (2)10 {.C_(6)+.C_(7)+.10C8+.10C9+.10C10} =( 1 2 )11{.10C0+.10C1+.....10C10-.10C5} =( 1 2 )11{210- 10ǃ 5ǃ5ǃ }= 1 2 {1- 10ǃ 2105ǃ5ǃ } So, statement -1 is true. We have, .2nC0+.2nC1+.2nC2+.....+.2nCn+.2nCn+1+.......+.2nC2n=22n ⇒2(.C_0+.2nC1+.2nC2+......2nC2+....+.2nCn-1)+.2nCn=22n ⇒.2nC0+.2nC_1+.2nC2+......2nCn-1=22n-1- 1 2 2nCn So, Statement -2 is not true.
