EXACTLY k HEADS

probability = nCk ÷ 2^n

nCk counts the different arrangements of k heads in n tosses.

EXAMPLE

P683
EXACTLY 3 HEADS IN 6 TOSSES

There are 2^6 = 64 total sequences. There are 6C3 = 20 favourable sequences.

20/64 = 5/16 = 31.25%

AT LEAST k

P683
AT LEAST k HEADS

At least k heads adds all outcomes from k heads up to n heads.

nCk + nC(k+1) + ... + nCn

AT MOST k

P683
AT MOST k HEADS

At most k heads adds all outcomes from 0 heads up to k heads.

nC0 + nC1 + ... + nCk
