Example 1 Find the probability of getting a head when a coin is tossed once. Also find the probability of getting a tail. Total number of outcomes = 2 (either Heads or Tails) Number of outcomes in which head comes = 1 P(getting a Head) = (š‘š‘¢š‘šš‘š‘’š‘Ÿ š‘œš‘“ š‘œš‘¢š‘”š‘š‘œš‘šš‘’š‘  š‘–š‘› š‘¤ā„Žš‘–š‘ā„Ž ā„Žš‘’š‘Žš‘‘ š‘š‘œš‘šš‘’š‘ )/(š‘‡š‘œš‘”š‘Žš‘™ š‘š‘¢š‘šš‘š‘’š‘Ÿ š‘œš‘“ š‘œš‘¢š‘”š‘š‘œš‘šš‘’š‘ ) = šŸ/šŸ Number of outcomes in which tail comes = 1 P(getting a Tail) = (š‘š‘¢š‘šš‘š‘’š‘Ÿ š‘œš‘“ š‘œš‘¢š‘”š‘š‘œš‘šš‘’š‘  š‘–š‘› š‘¤ā„Žš‘–š‘ā„Ž š‘”š‘Žš‘–š‘™ š‘š‘œš‘šš‘’š‘ )/(š‘‡š‘œš‘”š‘Žš‘™ š‘š‘¢š‘šš‘š‘’š‘Ÿ š‘œš‘“ š‘œš‘¢š‘”š‘š‘œš‘šš‘’š‘ ) = šŸ/šŸ
