Question

If a coin with both heads is tossed, then the probability of obtaining a tail is:

Answer 1

If both sides of the coin have heads, then there is no tail.

possible outcomes when coin is tossed = {H, H}

The number of event of of obtaining a tail = 0

So probability of getting a tail when coin is tossed = 0/2 = 0

Answer 2

The probability of obtaining a tail is 0.

Given:

Number of heads on coin=2

Number of tails=0

To find:

The probability of obtaining a tail

Solution:

We know that the probability of an event depends on the number of possible outcomes.

The required probability=number of tails/total number of outcomes

We know that the total outcomes of tossing a coin=2

Using the values,

The required probability=0/2

=0

Since the coin does not have a tail, the probability of obtaining it is 0.

Therefore, the probability of obtaining a tail is 0.
