Question

In a single throw of a coin , What is the probability of getting tail ?

Answer 1

The probability of getting tail is 1/2

Answer 2

 A coin has two sides a head(H) and a tail(T).

∴ All possible outcomes are H, T.

Total number of outcomes = 2

Chances of getting a tail = 1

Probability (P) = \(\frac{Number\,of\,favorable\,outcomes}{Total\,number\,of\,outcomes}\)

∴ Probability of getting a tail P(T) \(\frac{Number\,of\,getting\,a\,tail}{Total\,number\,of\,outcomes}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
