Question

In a single throw of a coin, what is the probability of getting a tail?

with full explanation​

Answer 1

50 percent

When we flip a coin there is always a probability to get a head or a tail is 50 percent.

Answer 2

Answer:

½

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the coin has two sides head (H) and tail (T)

So the possible outcomes are Xm.

(where x is the number of outcomes when a coin is tossed and m is number of coins)

∴ The possible outcomes are H and T.

Total possible outcomes =2

∴ Chances of getting a tail = 1(since there is a single coin)

By using the formula,

Probability p () = number of favorable outcomes/ total number of outcomes

∴ Probability of getting a tail p (T) = chances/total number of outcomes= ½
