Eyes nepal. The way you think is absolutely right and you are almost there . But you completely ignoring the number of toss.
Mero sano dimag le nikalya answer chahi 0.47 ho. I may be wrong.
let me explain how i came to this.
n is number of tries = 10
r is chance of getting
Probablity of head in each toss P(H) = 0.3
Probablity of tais in each toss P(T) = 0.7
Probablity of getting 2 Heads P (2H) = n C r * (0.3) power 2 * (0.7) power 8
= 10 C 2 * (0.3) power 2 * (0.7) power 8
=0.233
probablity of getting 4 Heads P(4H)= 10 C 4 * (0.3) power 4 * (0.7) power 6
= 0.200
P(6H)= 10C6 * (0.3) power 6 * (0.7) power 4
P (8H)= 10 C r8 * (0.3) power 8 * (0.7) power 2
P(10H) = 10 C 10 * (0.3) power 10 * (0.7) power 0
Now add everything = P(2H)+P(4H)+P(6H)+P(8H)+P(10H)
= 0.47
I may be wrong though. But this is what i came.
