When a fair coin is tossed once, there are 2 possible outcomes:

  1. Head
  2. Tail

The probability formula is:

P(E)=frac{text{Favourable Outcomes}}{text{Total Outcomes}}

Here,

  • Favourable outcome for getting a head = 1
  • Total outcomes = 2

So,

P(text{Head})=frac{1}{2}

Therefore, the probability of getting a head when tossing a coin once is 1/2 or 0.5 or 50%.
