Question

A coin is tossed 1000 times with the following frequencies:
Head 460, Tail 540
The coin is tossed again once. The probability of getting a Tail is:​

Answer 1

A coin is tossed 1000 times with the following frequencies Head 460, Tail 540. The coin is tossed again once. The probability of getting a Tail is $\frac{27}{50}$.

Given,

Head = 460

Tail = 540

Total = 1000

To find,

Probability of getting tail = ?

Solution,

Probability

It is a count of possibility which represents the chances of occurrence of any particular event. Probability of sure event is 1.

Probability of any event = $\frac{Favorable outcomes}{Total outcomes}$

Probability of getting tail = $\frac{540}{1000}$ = $\frac{27}{50}$.

Therefore, a coin is tossed 1000 times with the following frequencies Head 460, Tail 540. The coin is tossed again once. The probability of getting a Tail is $\frac{27}{50}$.
