View SolutionWhich of the following arguments are correct and which are not correct? Give reasons for your answer.
$(i)$ 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 $\frac{1}{3}$.
$(ii)$ If a die is thrown,there are two possible outcomes - an odd number or an even number. Therefore,the probability of getting an odd number is $\frac{1}{2}$.
