Question

Complete the following table :

Tossing a coin

Possible outcomes	Total outcomes	Probability of each outcome

Answer 1

Completing the table :

When a coin is tossed, the possible outcomes are heads and tails.

So, total outcomes are$2$

We know that,

Probability of an event $=\frac{\mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{possible}\mathrm{outcome}}{\mathrm{Total}\mathrm{number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{outcomes}}$

So, probability of getting heads $=$$\frac{\mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{times}\mathrm{that}\mathrm{head}\mathrm{occur}\mathrm{in}\mathrm{that}\mathrm{event}}{\mathrm{Total}\mathrm{outcomes}}$

$=$$\frac{1}{2}$

Similarly, the probability of getting tails $=$ $\frac{1}{2}$

Hence,

Possible outcomes	Total outcomes	Probability of each outcome
{Head and tail}	$2$	$\frac{1}{2}$
