Question
If you toss a coin 6 times and it comes down heads on each occasion. Can you say that the probability of getting a head is 1? Give reasons.
Solution
No, If let we toss a coin, then we get head or tail, both are equally like events.
So, probability is `1/2`.
If we toss a coin 6 times, then probability will be same in each case.
So, the 2 probability of getting a head is not 1.
