Correct answer is B
Let the probability of getting a head = p = 12 and that of tail = q = 12
(p+q)3=p3+3p2q+3pq2+q3
In the equation above, p3 and q3 are the probabilities of 3 heads and 3 tails respectively
while, p2q and pq2 are the probabilities of 2 heads and one tail and 2 tails and one head respectively.
Probability of exactly 2 heads = 3p2q=3(12)2(12)
= 38
