A coin is tossed 500 times. Heads appeared 275 times and rest of the times tails appeared. Find the probability of heads and tails.


Given: A coin is tossed 500times.

Heads appeared 275 times and rest of the times tails appeared.

To do: Find the probability of heads and tails.

Solution:


Probability  =  Number of favourable outcomes  $\div $  Total number of outcomes

Probability  of getting Head  =  Number of times head appeared $\div $  Total number of outcomes

Probability  of getting Head  =  $\frac{275}{500}$

Probability  of getting Head  =  $\frac{11}{ 20}$

Probability  of getting Tail  =   Number of times tail appeared  $\div $ Total number of outcomes

Probability  of getting Tail  =  $\frac{225}{ 500}$

Probability  of getting Tail  =  $\frac{ 9}{ 20}$
