Question
Two coins are tossed simultaneously. What is the probability of getting a head and a tail?
Solution
When 2 coins are tossed
Possible outcomes = HH, TH, HT, TT
Now, Outcomes with a head and a tail = HT, TH
Thus, P(getting with a head and a tail) = `"Number of outcomes with a head and a tail"/"Total number of outcomes"`
= `2/4`
= `1/2`
