Solution

Let  and   be the event that head and tail is obtained on toss, respectively.

T

H

Let n be the number of tosses.

P(H)=P(T)=0.5

Let A be the event that at least one head comes up.




We want to find n \in \mathbb{N} such that P(A) \ge 0.9

\begin{align*} P(A)&\ge 0.9\\ 1- (0.5)^n &\ge 0.9\\ (0.5)^n&\le0.1\\ n \ge 4 \end{align*}

Thus, if coin is tossed 4 times or more, the probability of getting at least one head is equal to or greater than 0.9
