Question

Find the probability of getting a head when a coin is tossed once. Also find the probability of getting a tail.

• A. Zero
• B. 1/3
• C. 1
• D. 1/2

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{1}{2}$

When a coin tossed there are two possible out comes, namely head and tail.
So, probability of getting head is $=\frac{\text{No favourable outcomes to get head}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$
$=\frac{1}{2}$
Similar way, probability of getting a tail is $=\frac{1}{2}$
Hence, both the probability values are equal.
