Notation: "n choose k" can also be written C(n,k), nCk or even nCk.
4! = 4 3 2 1 = 24
7! = 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 = 5040
1! = 1
Select number of
heads:
With 7 coins, there are 128 possible outcomes. Of these, 1 outcome
has 7 heads.
Therefore the probability of this is 1/128 or 1% (rounded)
Now you can work out the probabilities for various combinations for heads
and coins, then you can experiment to see if reality matches the probability!
You will find it won't necessarily match (although the more numbers of
throw, the closer it will get), but the experiments should give figures fairly
close to the probability.
