A pair of coins thrown then

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

LIST-ILIST-II
A.Probability of occurance of head on both coins isI.34\dfrac{3}{4}
B.Probability of occurance of at least one tail isII.12\dfrac{1}{2}
C.Probability of occurance of one tail only isIII.11
D.Probability of a tail appears on one coin given that only one coin shows head.IV.14\dfrac{1}{4}

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The sample space is HH, HT, TH, TT.

A: both heads is one outcome, 14\frac{1}{4} (IV). B: at least one tail covers three outcomes, 34\frac{3}{4} (I). C: exactly one tail covers HT and TH, 12\frac{1}{2} (II). D: if exactly one coin shows head, the other must be a tail, so the probability is 11 (III).
