Two coins are tossed simultaneously for 360 times. The number of times ‘2 Tails’ appeared was three times ‘No Tail’ appeared and number of times ‘1 tail’ appeared is double the number of times ‘No Tail’ appeared. -Maths 9th
Total number of outcomes = 360 Let the number of times ‘No Tail’ appeared be x Then, number of times ‘2 Tails’ appeared =3x Number of times ‘1 Tail’ appeared =2x Now, x + 2x + 3x =360 ⇒ 6x =360 ⇒ x= 60 P(of getting two tails)=(3 x 60) / 360 =1 / 2
