A fair coin is flipped 4 times. What's the probability of tails appearing on at most one of the four flips?
The answer I get is 4/16, but the answer cheat says 5/16.

You need to find the probability tails appears either zero times or once.
The probability it appears zero times is $\dfrac{1}{16}$.
I think you have worked out the probability it appears exactly once.
