Question

what is the probability of getting heads if a coin is tossed.​

Answer 1

The probability of getting heads if a coin is tossed = 1/2

Given :

A coin is tossed

To find :

The probability of getting heads if a coin is tossed

Solution :

Step 1 of 3 :

Find total number of possible outcomes

Here it is given that a coin is tossed

So the event points are H and T

Where H = Head and T = Tail

So the 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 of getting heads

So the event points is H

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)

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

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

Answer 2

Answer:

1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a coin tossed there are two possible out comes, namely head and tail.

So, probability of getting head is = $\frac{Number of favourable outcomes to get head}{Total number of outcomes}$

                                                       = 1/2.

Similar way, probability of getting a tail is = 1/2

Hence, both the probability values are equal.

Therefore,

The correct answer is 1/2.
