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?

A1
B2/5
C0
D3/5

Verified Answer :

I believe the answer is D.

Answer:

The probability of tails coming up is \(\dfrac{3}{5}\)

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

\(P(H)=\dfrac{2}{5}\)

The sum of probability of all value is 1.

\(P(H)+P(T)=1\)

\(\dfrac{2}{5}+P(T)=1\)

                   \(P(T)=1-\dfrac{2}{5}\)

                   \(P(T)=\dfrac{3}{5}\)

Hence, The probability of tails coming up is \(\dfrac{3}{5}\)
