If you toss a coin 6 times it comes down head on each occasion Can you say that the probability of getting a head is 1? Give reasons

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, if let we toss a coin, then we get head or tail, both are equally likely events. So probability is `(1)/(2)`. If we toss a coin 6 times, then probability will be same in each case. So, the probability of getting a head is not 1.
