Question

In a cricket match, a coin is tossed to decide which team will decide to bat or ball first. What is the probability that team A will get to decide whether to bat or ball first in a match between teams A and B?

• A. $1$
• B. $\frac{1}{6}$
• C. $\frac{1}{3}$
• D. $\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

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

In a coin toss, the probability of both heads and tails is $\frac{1}{2}$.

So, for a decision based on a coin toss, the probability of getting the favorable outcome will be $\frac{1}{2}$.
