If 12 fair coins are flipped once, what is the probability of a result as extreme as or more extreme than 10 heads? (Note, "as or more extreme than" means in *either* direction -- that is to say, as or more extreme both in terms of getting that many or more heads, and in terms of getting that many or more tails.)

Using the binomial probability concept ; the probability of obtaining 10 or more heads is 0.0457

Recall :

P(x = x) = nCx * p^x * q^(n-x)

Where :

  • n = number of trials = 12
  • x ≥ 10
  • p = probability of success = 0.5
  • q = 1 - q = 0.5

P(x ≥ 10) = P(x = 10) + P(x = 11) + P(x = 12)

Using a binomial probability calculator :

P(x = 10) =

P(x = 11) =

P(x = 12) =

P(x ≥ 10) = 0.01611 + 0.02930 + 0.000244

P(x ≥ 10) = 0.045654

Therefore, probability of getting as extreme or more extreme than 10 heads is 0.0457.
