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`
Solution
`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`.
