Detailed Solution

The formula of the probability of an event is the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.
P(E)=  no. of favorable outcomes   total number of outcomes   
All possible outcomes are {HH,HT,TH,TT}   .
Total number of outcomes is 4
The favorable outcomes are {TT,HT,TH}   .
Number of favorable outcomes is 3
Therefore, the probability of getting at most one head is P(E)= 3 4  
Therefore, probability of getting at most one head is 3 4   .
Hence, option 1 is correct.
