Question

A coin is tossed once, what is the probability of getting a head?

• A. $\frac{2}{3}$
• B. $\frac{1}{3}$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$
• D. $\frac{2}{5}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$\frac{1}{2}$

Given,

Sample space = Total number of outcomes = S{H,T}
Number of favourable outcomes = 1
Probability of an event, P(E) = $\frac{numberoffavourableoutcomes}{totalnumberofoutcomes}$

$\Rightarrow$ P(E) = $\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, the probability of getting a head is $\frac{1}{2}$ .
