Answer

$\dfrac{1}{2048}$

Work Step by Step

As per the definition of in-dependency, we can write $P(A_1 \cap A_2 \cap..........\cap A_{11})=P(A_1) P(A_2) .........P(A_{11})$ Here, $A_1,A-2, ........,A_{11}$ denotes the events that the toss of the first coin is head. Since, $P(A_{i})=\dfrac{1}{2}$ So, $P(A_1 \cap A_2 \cap..........\cap A_{11})=(\dfrac{1}{2}) \times (\dfrac{1}{2}) \times.........\times (\dfrac{1}{2})$ or, $=\dfrac{1}{2^{11}}$ or, $=\dfrac{1}{2048}$
