Q:
A coin is tossed 5 times. What is the probability that head appears an odd number of times?
Answer & Explanation
Answer: A) 1/2
Explanation: The possible outcomes are as follows :
5H, 5T, (H, 4T), (T, 4H), (2H, 3T) (3H, 2T), i.e. 6 outcomes in all.
Therefore the probability that head appears an odd number of times = 3/6 =1/2 (In only three outcomes out of the six outcomes, head appears an odd number of times).
