0.5 answer is d.
!! !!!! !!!!!

Answer 2

the probability that the next toss will also be a "Head" is (D) 0.5.

In the above question, occurrence of result is not dependent on already occurred events.

Thus, probability = number of favourable outcomes / total number of possible outcomes.

Number of favourable outcomes is 1 i.e. occurrence of head out of head and tail. Thus, 1.

Total possible outcomes is head + tail. Thus, 2.

Probability = 1/2

Probability = 0.5.
