If 2 coins are tossed, what is the probability of getting heads on both coins?(a) \(\frac{1}{2}\)(b) \(\frac{1}{3}\)(c) \(\frac{1}{4}\)(d) \(\frac{3}{2}\)I had been asked this question during an interview.The question is from Data Handling in chapter Data Handling of Mathematics – Class 8

Answer»

The correct choice is (c) \(\FRAC{1}{4}\)

The best explanation: A coin has two sides i.e. head and tail. When a coin is TOSSED, we can GET either head or tail. The likelihood of getting either head or tail is equal. HENCE, the probability of getting head when a coin is tossed is \(\frac{1}{2}\). The probability of getting head on both the coins is \(\frac{1}{4}\).
