A sure event is the one that is defined to happen for sure.
Getting a head or tail while tossing a coin once is a sure event as the outcome will definitely be either head or tail.
Thus, the probability of a sure event is $1.$

MCQ 1481 Mark
A coin is tossed. Which of the following is the probability of getting a head or tail?
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • $\frac{1}{2}$
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{1}{2}$
Total number of possible outcomes $= 2$
i.e., $H$ or $T$
$i.$ If the favourable outcome is head $(H).$
Number of favourable outcomes $= 1.$
Therefore, $P($getting a head$)$
$\text{P(H)} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}} {\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}=\frac{1}{2}$
$ii.$ If the favourable outcome is tail $(T).$
Number of favourable outcomes $= 1.$
Therefore, $P($getting a tail$)$
$\text{P(H)} = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}} {\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}=\frac{1}{2}$

In a frequency distribution with classes $0-10, 10-20$ etc., the size of the class intervals is $10.$ The lower limit of fourth class is:
  • A
    $40$
  • B
    $50$
  • C
    $20$
  • $30$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$30$

Given classes are $0-10$ and $10-20.$
As, the class of given classes is $10$, so the next classes will be $20-30$ and $30-40.$
As, the fourth class is $30-40.$
Hence, the lower limit of fourth class is $30.$
