Solution

The correct option is A 2
On tossing a coin, we can get either a head or a tail.

So, let us say that the probability of getting a head or tail is called an event.

It is given that a coin is tossed 2 times. The sample will like:
HH, HT, TH, and TT

So, the number of incorrect entries is 2.
