A coin is tossed 60 times and the tail appears 35 times . In a random throw of a coin , what is the probability of getting a head ?

A

`(7)/(12)`

B

`(12)/(7)`

C

`(5)/(12)`

D

`(1)/(25)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Total number of times the coin is tossed = 60 .
Number of times tails appear = 35.
Number of times heads appear = (60-35) = 25.
P(getting a head) = `(25)/(60) = (5)/(12)` .
