Question

Mahi uses a coin in which both the faces are the same i.e. tails. What is the probability that Mahi will win the toss, if she always calls heads?

• A. 0
• B. 0.5
• C. 1
• D. 1.5

Answer 1

The correct option is A

0

The event here is tossing of a coin. As both the sides of the coin are same,
Number of possible outcomes = 1 (tails)
Number of favourable outcomes = 0 (as Mahi calls heads)
Probability of Mahii’s win, P(E) is
= $\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Number of total outcomes}}$
= 0
