Question

A coin is tossed. What is the probability of getting a head and a tail?

• A. $1$
• B. $0$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}$
• D. $\frac{1}{6}$

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$0$

When a coin is tossed the sample space is $S=H,T$ that is either H or T but not H and T.

Therefore, the probability of getting a head and a tail is $P\left(E\right)=\frac{0}{2}=0$

But the probability of getting a head or tail is $\frac{1}{2}$.
