An unbiased coin is tossed 6 times. The probability that third head appearson the sixth trial is`5//16`b. `5//32`c. `5//8`d. `5//64`A. `5//16`B. `2//32`C. `5//8`D. `5//64`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Probability of getting 2 heads in the first 5 trials is
`""^(5)C_(2)((1)/(2))^(2)((1)/(2))^(3)=10/32=5/16`
Therefore, the probability that third head appears on the sixth trial is `5//16xx1//2=5//32.`
