A) 0
B) 1
C) 1/2
D) 1/4
Correct Answer : 1 Explanation : When coin is tossed, result will be either heads or tails.there Total number of possible outcomes i.e. sample space n(S) : {H,T} = 2 So number of probable outcomes and total number of outcomes are same i.e. 2. So, probability of getting either heads or tails when a coin is tossed once Note: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
