Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This is because the possibility of obtaining a Head in a coin toss is as likely as obtaining a tail, that is, 50%. So when you toss one coin, there are only two possibilities – a head (H) or a tail (L).
Detailed explanation-2: -When you toss a coin there are two possible outcomes: ‘heads’ or ‘tails’. Each of these outcomes is equally likely, since there is 1 ‘head’ and 1 ‘tail’ on the coin.
Detailed explanation-3: -When a coin is tossed once the result can be either a ‘HEAD’ or ‘TAIL’. So we have only 2 possible outcome when a coin is tossed once.
