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
