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 =Number of times tail comesTotal number of times result counted

Probability of occurrence of tail =7001400

Probability of occurrence of tail = 0.5
