Find the probability of getting a head when a coin is tossed once. Also find the probability of getting a tail.
Solution:
When we toss a coin once, there are two possible outcomes:
- Head (H)
- Tail (T)
Let’s find the probability of getting a head:
There is only 1 head out of 2 possible outcomes.
So,
P(head) = 1/2
Now, let’s find the probability of getting a tail:
There is only 1 tail out of 2 possible outcomes.
So,
P(tail) = 1/2
