Question

For the experiment of tossing a coin three times, how do you find the probability of getting a head on the first toss?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

The second and third tosses are independent of the first toss so they are not relevant to this question.

There are 2 possible outcomes of the first toss of the coin: Heads or Tails.

Heads is 1 of 2 possible outcomes.

Therefore the probability of getting a Head on the first toss is"

`1` in `2` or `1/2` or `50%`
