Answer 1

probability of getting head is

$\frac{1}{2}$

that is 0.5

Answer 2

Given,

A single toss of a coin​.

To Find,

The probability of getting head =?

Solution,

We can solve the question as follows:

It is asked that we have to find the probability of getting head in a single toss of a coin​.

The probability of an event E occurring is given as the number of favorable outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.

$Probability = \frac{N.o\: of\: favorable\: outcomes}{Total\: outcomes}$

Now,

When a coin is tossed, the total number of outcomes is 2 i.e. head or tail.

The number of favorable outcomes of getting a head is 1.

$Total\: outcomes = 2$

$Number\: of\: favorable\: outcomes = 1$

Substituting the values in the formula,

$Probability = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5$

Hence, the probability of getting head in a single toss of a coin​ is 1/2 or 0.5.
