A coin is tossed once. Find the probability of getting a tail.

We know that


Probability of occurrence of an event


Total outcomes of the coin are tails and heads


Hence the total no.of outcomes are 2 (i.e. heads and tails)


And the desired output is tail. Hence no.of desired outcomes = 1


Therefore, the probability of getting a tail is


Conclusion: Probability of getting a tail when a coin is flipped is 0.5 or
