Question

In a single throw of a Coin what is the probability of getting tail

Answer 1

Total no. of outcomes = H and T

favourable outcomes = T

probability of getting a tail = 1/2

Answer 2

In a single throw of a coin the probability of getting tail is 1/2

Given :

A coin is thrown once

To find :

The probability of getting tail

Solution :

Step 1 of 3 :

Find total number of possible outcomes

A coin is thrown once

The possible outcomes are H , T

So total number of possible outcomes = 2

Step 2 of 3 :

Find total number of possible outcomes for the event

Let A be the event that of getting tail

So total number of possible outcomes for the event A is 1

Step 3 of 3 :

Find the probability

Hence the required probability

= P(A)

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{Number \: of \: favourable \: cases \: to \: the \: event \: A }{Total \: number \: of \: possible \: outcomes }}$

$\displaystyle \sf{ = \frac{1}{2} }$
