Fasi della soluzione

The possible outcomes when a coin is thrown four times are

2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2

Therefore, the number of possible outcomes:

2^{4}

Find the number of favorable outcomes of at least 2 tails will appear:

11

Probability

= \frac{number of favorable outcomes}{total number of outcomes}

= \frac{11}{2 ^{4}}

2^{4} = 16

= \frac{11}{16}
