Question

A coin is tossed 60 times and the tail appears 35 times. What is the probability of getting a head?

• A. $\frac{7}{12}$
• B. $\frac{12}{7}$
• C. $\frac{5}{12}$
• D. $\frac{1}{25}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\frac{5}{12}$

Total number of times the coin is tossed = 60.
Number of time the tail appears = 35.
Number of times the appears = (60 - 35) = 25.
Probability of getting a head =$\frac{25}{60}=\frac{5}{12}$
