The correct option is C

1516


Sample space
=⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢TTHT,TTTH,TTTT,TTHHTHHT,THTH,THTT,THHHHTHT,HTTH,HTTT,HTHHHHHT,HHTH,HHTT,HHHH⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥
Total number of outcomes = 16
Favourable outcomes for getting all heads = { HHHH }
Number of favourable outcomes = 1
Probability of getting all heads = Number of favourable outcomesTotal number of outcomes=116
P(atleast one tail) = 1 - P (Heads only)
P(Atleast one tail) = 1116
= 1516
