tossing a coin is an example of a statistical experiment. what is the probability that a head will appear when a coin is tossed?​

Sagot :

Answer:

The probability of getting heads on the toss of a coin is 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let H denote the event that head appears.

Let T denote the event that tail appears.

Let C denote the event that the coin is tossed.

Then C=H∪T and the events H and T are mutually exclusive. Moreover it is for certain that event C occurs and this together leads to:

P(H)+P(T)=P(C)=1

If the coin is fair then also:

P(H)=P(T) so that we can conclude that:

P(H)=P(T)= 1/2 or 0.5.
