When tossing 4 coins, each coin has 2 possible outcomes (heads or tails). Therefore, the total
number of possible outcomes is
A favorable outcome occurs when the number of heads is greater than the number of tails.
In 4 coin tosses, we need 3 heads and 1 tail, or 4 heads and 0 tails.
The number of ways to choose 3 heads from 4 tosses is given by
Thus, the total number of favorable outcomes is
The probability is the ratio of favorable outcomes to total outcomes
The probability of a favorable outcome is Option 3).
