Question

Two coins are tossed. Find the probability of getting head on the first coin and tail on the second coin.

• A. $1$
• B. $\frac{1}{2}$
• C. $\frac{1}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{1}{4}$

P(getting head on the first coin) $=\frac{1}{2}$

P(getting tail on the second coin) $=\frac{1}{2}$

P(getting head on the first coin and tail on the second coin) $=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}$

P(getting head on the first coin and tail on the second coin) $=\frac{1}{4}$
