Question

a coin is tossed what is the probability of getting a head
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\textsf{The probability formula}$

$\bf Probability\ of\ favourable\ term=\frac{Total\ number\ of\ favourable\ outcomes}{Total\ number\ of\ outcomes}$

$\text{In a coin there are two probabilities, one is head and the second is tails. So, when a coin is tossed, there are two probabilities.}\text{And, we've to find the probability of getting a head, when the coin is tossed.}$

$\text{So, probability of getting a head is only 1. We'll put the values in the probability formula} \\ \\ \\ \therefore \sf Probability\ of\ getting\ a\ heads=\frac{1}{2}\\ \\ \\ \implies \therefore \bf The\ probability\ of\ getting\ a\ heads\ is\ \frac{1}{2},\ 0.5\ or\ 50\%.$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{2} = 0.5 =50\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Problem:

A coin is tossed what is the probability of getting a head

​Solution:

To Find:

Probability of getting a head.

-------------------

Method:

⇒If one coin tossed once at time.

⇒Total number of outcomes :- 2 (Either heads or tails if tossed once).

⇒H-heads.

⇒T-tails.

⇒Possibilities are {H,T}.

⇒Number of outcomes for heads (H) = 1.

⇒Number of outcomes for tails (T) = 1.

Formula of probability:

$\frac{Total\ number\ of \ favorable \ outcomes}{Total\ number\ of \ outcomes}$

According to formula,

P (getting heads) = $\frac{1}{2}$

Hence,

The probablity is of getting a head is $\frac{1}{2} = 0.5 = 50\%$
