Solution

The correct option is B
0.5

A coin was tossed 1500 times but 100 times result was not counted.

So, the total number of times result counted = 1400

Number of times head comes = 700

Number of times tail comes = 1400 - 700 = 700

Probability of occurrence of tail $= \frac{Number of times tail comes}{Total number of times result counted}$

Probability of occurrence of tail $= \frac{700}{1400}$

Probability of occurrence of tail = 0.5
