14.Probability
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}$.
