Question

A coin is tossed 60 times and tail appears 35 times. What is the probability of getting a head?

Answer 1

Heya,

According to the question,

No. of times the coin was tossed = 60 times
No. of times tail appeared = 35 times

So,
From this we can say that no. of time head can appear = 60 - 35 = 25 times

So,
Probability of getting head = 25/60 = 5/12. ..... Answer

Hope this helps....:)

Answer 2

Answer:

The probability of getting the head will be$\frac{5}{12}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A coin is tossed 60 times and the tail appears 35 times.

We have to find the probability of getting the head.

• As we know, the formula is used to calculate the probability is:

     $P(A)=\frac{\text { Number of Favourable Outcome }}{\text { Total Number of Favourable Outcomes }}$

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

A coin is tossed 60 times and the tail appears 35 times.

Here, the number of favorable outcomes to getting head is:$60-35=25$

And the total number of favorable outcomes=60

Then,

The probability of getting the head will be:

$P(A)=\frac{\text { Number of Favourable Outcome }}{\text { Total Number of Favourable Outcomes }}\\\\P(A)=\frac{25}{60} \\\\P(A)=\frac{5}{12}$

Hence, the probability of getting the head will be$\frac{5}{12}$.
