Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. There are 24=162^{4} = 16 equally likely outcomes.

  2. 5 of them have at most one head, so the probability is 516=516\frac{5}{16} = \frac{5}{16}.

Worth noting

Counting 55 outcomes by the number of heads treats them as equally likely, and they are not.
