Answer:
The probability is [tex]\frac{5}{16}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given is that a fair coin is tossed 5 times in a row.
This gives total number of outcomes as = [tex]2\times2\times2\times2\times2=32[/tex]
As its needed that heads comes exactly 2 times, so favorable outcomes are = 5C2
[tex]\frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}[/tex]
Solving this we get 10
Therefore, the probability of getting heads exactly 2 times is =
[tex]\frac{10}{32}[/tex] or
[tex]\frac{5}{16}[/tex]
