Solution
The correct option is A 0
The outcome when a coin is tossed can be a head or a tail, but when the coin is tossed 1000 times the maximum number of times head occurs is 1000, as the number of times the outcome occurs is always less than or equal to the total number of times the experiment is performed.
Therefore, the probability of a head occurring more than 1000 times is 0. The answer cannot be negative as the chance of occurrence of something cannot be negative.
