Using the concept of binomial probability, the probability of obtaining at most 25 tails is 0.999

Recall :

  • P(x = x) = nCx * p^x * q^(n-x)
  • p = probability of success = 0.5
  • n = number of trials = 28
  • q = 1 - p = 0.5

The probability of tail occurring at most 25 times can be defined thus :

  • P(X ≤ 25) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) +... + P(X = 25)

Using a binomial probability calculator :

P(X ≤ 25) = 0.999

Therefore, the probability of obtaining at most 25 tails is 0.999
