Question

In tossing a coin, getting a head and getting a tail are mutually exclusive outcomes: true or false
​

Answer 1

Answer:

For any individual toss of the coin, the outcome will be either heads or tails. The two outcomes (heads or tails) are therefore mututally exclusive; if the coin comes up heads on a single toss, it cannot come up tails on the same toss.

Answer 2

Answer : TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

we can answer this question in 2 ways...

1. For any individual toss of the coin, the outcome will be either heads or tails. The two outcomes (heads or tails) are therefore mututally exclusive; if the coin comes up heads on a single toss, it cannot come up tails on the same toss.

2. In the case of flipping a coin, flipping a head and flipping a tail are also mutually exclusive events. Both outcomes cannot occur for a single trial (i.e., when a coin is flipped only once).
