Question

What are the possible outcomes when a coin is tossed?

• A. We get heads facing up
• B. We get tails facing up
• C. We get neither heads, nor tails facing up, but the coin lies flat on the ground
• D. The coin lies flat with both heads and tails of the coin facing up

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

The correct options are
A

We get heads facing up

B

We get tails facing up

When a coin is tossed, we either get heads or tails facing up.

Sample space = S {H, T}

But we can't have a situation where both heads and tails face up. Also, a situation of getting neither heads nor tails, with the coin lying flat on the ground is impossible.
