About Coin Toss Probability Formula
Let's look at a few aspects of tossing a coin before understanding the probability formula. Tossing a coin can result in one of two outcomes: Head or Tail. We don't know the way the coin will land on a given toss, but we know it is either be Head or Tail (we rule out the idea of the coin landing on its edge!). Tossing a coin, on other hand, is a random experiment since you know the set of outcomes but not the specific outcome for each random experiment run. The probability formula for a coin toss can be used to calculate the probability of an experiment.
What AreCoin Toss Probability Formulas?
The ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes is used to calculate the likelihood of an event. The same can be said for the coin toss probability formula.
Probability= 
When a coin is tossed, only two outcomes are possible. As a result, applying the probability formula:
- On tossing a coin,
probability of getting head is:
P(Head) = P(H) = ½
- Similarly, on tossing a coin,
probability of getting a tail is:
P(Tail) = P(T) = 1/2
