(A) The total number of possible outcomes when tossing a coin is $2$ (Head and Tail).
Since the coin is fair,both outcomes are equally likely.
The probability of an event $E$ is given by the formula: $P(E) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of possible outcomes}}$.
For Head: $P(H) = \frac{1}{2}$.
For Tail: $P(T) = \frac{1}{2}$.
Thus,the probability of each outcome is $\frac{1}{2}$ because they are equally likely events.
