If a fair coin is tossed four times, what is the probability of obtaining at least one head?

When we toss a fair coin, there are two possible outcomes: heads or tails. Since the coin is fair, the probability of getting a head on any given toss is 1/2, and the probability of getting a tail is also 1/2. To find the probability of obtaining at least one head in four tosses, we can use the complement rule: the probability of an event happening is equal to one minus the probability of the event not happening. So, the probability of getting at least one head is equal to 1 minus the probability of getting no heads at all. The probability of getting no heads in one toss is 1/2, and since each toss is independent, the probability of getting no heads in four tosses is (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/16. Therefore, the probability of getting at least one head in four tosses is 1 - 1/16 = 15/16. So, the answer is (D) \(\frac{15}{16}\).
