Solution

The correct option is C 12
When we toss a coin, there are only two possible outcomes head (H) or tail (T) so the sample space for the coin toss experiment is {H, T}.

Total number of possibe outcomes =2

Favorable outcome ={T}

Number of favorable outcomes =1

Hence, the probability of flipping a coin and getting tail is

P (tail)=Number of favorable outcomesTotal number of possible outcomes

P (tail)=12

Therefore, option (c.) is the correct choice.
