Question 23

A coin is tossed 12 times and the outcomes are observed as shown below:

The chance of occurence of head is:

(a) $\frac{1}{2}$

(b) $\frac{5}{12}$

(c) $\frac{7}{12}$

(d) $\frac{5}{7}$

Answer 1

Total number of times a coin is tossed = 12
Total number of occurrence of head = 5
The chance of occurrence of head $=\frac{\text{Number of times head appeared}}{\text{Number of times a coin is tossed}}=\frac{5}{12}$
