Question

In the following questions, a statement of Assertion (A) and a statement of Reason (R) are given:

Assertion: The probability of getting head in one toss of a coin is `1/2`.

Reason: The sample space in one toss of a coin is {H, T}.

Options

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true but Reason (R) is not the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

• Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.

• Assertion (A) is false but Reason (R) is true.

Answer 1

Both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).

Explanation:

The sample space for one coin toss is {H, T}, which has two equally likely outcomes; the favourable outcome for “head” is 1, so P(head) = `1/2` thus R explains A.
