Suppose a coin has been altered so that the probability of heads coming up is 2/5. What is the probability of tails coming up?

A. 1
B. 2/5
C. 0
D. 3/5

Respuesta :

I believe the answer is D.

Answer:

The probability of tails coming up is [tex]\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]

D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose a coin has been altered so that the probability of heads coming up is 2/5.

A coin has two possibility either head or coin.

We are given probability of heads coming up is 2/5

[tex]P(H)=\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

The sum of probability of all value is 1.

[tex]P(H)+P(T)=1[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{2}{5}+P(T)=1[/tex]

                   [tex]P(T)=1-\dfrac{2}{5}[/tex]

                   [tex]P(T)=\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]

Hence, The probability of tails coming up is [tex]\dfrac{3}{5}[/tex]
