Answer : 1. "(1/2)^11"
Explanation :

Answer: A) (1/2)^11 Explanation: Probability of occurrence of an event,  P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes = n(E)/n(S) ⇒ Probability of getting head in one coin = ½,  ⇒ Probability of not getting head in one coin = 1- ½ = ½,  Hence,  All the 11 tosses are independent of each other. ∴ Required probability of getting only 2 times heads =122×129=1211
