A coin is tossed 50 times and head is obtained 31 times. On tossing a coin at random, find the probability of getting (i) a head (ii) a tail
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
probability of heads is 1/2
probability of tails is 1/2
The probability of getting a tail is 19/50.
The probability of getting a tail is 31/50.
GIVEN: A coin is tossed 50 times and the head is obtained 31 times.
TO FIND: On tossing a coin at random, find the probability of getting (i) a head (ii) a tail
SOLUTION:
As we are given in the question,
A coin is tossed a total of 50 times.
Out of 50 times, we get heads 31 times.
Therefore,
The number of times we may get tails
= Total tosses made - Tosses on which we got heads
= 50 - 31
= 19
Therefore,
Out of 50 times, we get 19 tails.
Now,
As we know,
Probability of a particular event
= Number of favorable outcomes/Total number of outcomes
Therefore,
Probability of getting a head = 31/50
Probability of getting a tail = 19/50
