Question

A coin is tossed 100 times and head is obtained 59 times. The probability of getting a tail is

(a) $\frac{59}{100}$ (b) $\frac{41}{100}$ (c) $\frac{29}{100}$ (d) $\frac{43}{100}$

Answer 1

Number of all possible outcomes = 100
Number of head obtained = 59
Number of tail obtained (favourable outcomes) = 100 − 59 = 41
Therefore
Probability of getting a tail = $\frac{41}{100}$
Hence, the correct option is (b).
