Mathematics Probability Medium

A coin is thrown 8 number of times. What is the probability of getting a head in an odd number of throw?

(A) \(\frac{3}{4}\)
(B) \(\frac{1}{4}\)
(C) \(\frac{1}{2}\)
(D) \(\frac{1}{8}\)
✓ Correct Answer: Option C Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

Total throws = 8 \[\] Odd-numbered throws = \( \{1, 3, 5, 7\} \), count = 4 \[\] Probability (\( P(E) \)) of getting a head in odd-numbered throws: \[ P(E) = \frac{1}{2} \]
