Question

Why is tossing a coin considered to be a fair way of deciding which team should choose ends in a game of cricket?

Answer 1

SOLUTION :  

No. of possible outcomes while tossing a coin = 2 i.e 1 head & 1 tail .

Probability (P) = Number of favourable outcomes / Number of possible outcomes

P( getting head) = 1/2

P( getting tail) = 1/2

Here , probability of two events are equal, these are called equally like events. Hence, the result of an individual coin tossing is completely unpredictable .
