Question

if three coins are tossed simultaneously find the probability of getting a head on middle​

Answer 1

Answer:

4/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

When three coins are tossed simultaneously, the total possible outcomes are {(H,H,H) , (H,H,T) , (H,T,H) , (H,T,T), (T,H,H), (T,H,T), (T,T,H), (T,T,T)}.

Therefore, total numbers of outcomes are 2^3 = 8

To find: the probability of getting a head on middle

Soln:

The favorable outcomes are

{(H,H,H), (H,H,T), (T,H,H), (T,H,T)}.

No.of favorable outcomes=4.

Therefore, probability of occurrence of head in the middle = 4/8 = 1/2.
