Question

What is probability of getting a head when coin is tossed?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know the definition of probability is 'ratio of favorable outcomes to total number of possible outcomes'.

In this case, when we toss a coin there is a probability of 1/2 for both of the events to occur.

We have to find the probability of getting 'either head or tail' so that will be 1/2+1/2–0=1.

1/2 . It goes by the formula to find the probability of an outcome i.e. favorable outcome/ number of total outcomes

Here favorable outcome is either head or tail ( only one of the two) but total outcomes can be both head and tail.

Answer 2

Answer:

p (a head when coin is tossed once ) = 1/2
