The report stated that this question was attempted by majority of the candidates and they performed very well in it. Candidates were able to obtain the total number of outcomes as The probability of exactly one head = .
In part (b), candidates should note that between 2 and 5 meant that 2 and 5 were excluded. Some candidates added the frequency for 2 and 5 and this gave them the wrong answer. Therefore, required probability = Pr(3) + Pr(4) = = .
In part (c), probability of at most 1 head = Pr(0) + Pr(1) = .
