easy

If a coin be tossed $n$ times then probability that the head comes odd times is

A

$\frac{1}{2}$

B

$\frac{1}{{{2^n}}}$

C

$\frac{1}{{{2^{n - 1}}}}$

D

None of these

Solution

(a) Total number of ways $ = \,{2^n}$

If head comes odd times, then favourable ways $= {2^{n – 1}}.$

$\therefore$ Required probability $ = \frac{{{2^{n – 1}}}}{{{2^n}}} = \frac{1}{2}$.
