Question

A coin is tossed 12 times and the outcomes are observed as shown below:

The chance of occurrence of Head is

Options

• `1/2`

• `5/12`

• `7/12`

• `5/7`

Answer 1

`bb(5/12)`

Explanation:

Total number of tosses = 12

⇒ Total number of outcomes = 12

⇒ Number of heads = 5

⇒ Total number of favorable outcomes = 5

Probability = `"Total number of favourable outcomes"/"Total number of outcomes"`

⇒ Probability = `5/12`

Hence, the chance of occurrence of Head is `5/12`.
