Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Originally Answered: What is the probability of getting a head if a pair of coin is tossed? The possible outcomes are (H,H), (H,T), (T,H) and (T,T). The probability of getting exactly 1 head is 2/4 = 1/2. The probability of getting exactly 2 heads is 1/4 = 1/4.
ANSWER:(i)1/2
(ii)1/2
STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION: (i) when a coin is tossed once,
possible outcomes = {H,T}
Total number of outcomes=2
The cases favourable to getting a head are------
{H}
Therefore number of favourable cases= 1
P(getting a head)=favourable cases/total number of outcomes
=1/2
(ii)P(not getting a head)=1- P(getting a head). [since P(E)+ P(not E)= 1]
=1-1/2
=1/2
