How many times must a man toss a fair coin so that the probability of having at least one head is more than 80%?
Let p denote the probability that the man will get the head.
Suppose the man tosses the coin n times. Let X denotes the number of times he get head in n-trials.
Now,
Now, is true only when the value of n is equal to or greater than 3
Hence, the man must toss at least 3 times
