the probability is 1 / 2 that a certain coin turns up heads on any given toss . if the coin is tossed 6 times , what is the probability that the coin turns up tails on at least one of the tosses ?
p ( 6 heads ) = 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 = 1 / 64 . p ( at least one tail ) = 1 - 1 / 64 = 63 / 64 . the answer is d .
subtract(1, power(divide(1, 2), 6))
