(Q19)Which of the following arguments are correct and which are not correct? Give reasons.

(i) If two coins are tossed simultaneously, there are three possible outcomes - two heads, two tails or one of each. Therefore, for each of these outcomes, the probability is
1
3

Reason :

All possible outcomes =

Thus, probability of two heads =
Probability of two tails =
Probability of one each =
=
1

This statement is (correct,incorrect)=

ii) If a dice is thrown, there are two possible outcomes - an odd number or an even number. Therefore, the probability of getting an odd number is
1
2

Reason :

All possible outcomes =

Outcomes favourable to an odd number =

Outcomes favourable to an even number =

∴Probability(odd number) =
No. of favourable outcomes
Total no. of outcomes
=
=
1

This statement is (correct,incorrect)=
