    Step-by-step explanation:

    we have that we can solve it by means of binomial, in this case m = 25. Also the probability of head is 50%. we need to know when it falls 7 times, therefore x = 7

    the formula is:

    P (x) = mCx * p ^ x * q ^ (m-x)

    we know that p is 0.5 therefore q is equal to 0.5, replacing:

    P (7) = 25C7 * 0.5 ^ 7 * 0.5 ^ (25-7)

    P (7) = 25! / (7! * (25-7) !) * 0.5 ^ 7 * 0.5 ^ (25-7)

    P = 0.0143

    that is, the probability is 1.43%
