1. The probability of getting a head when tossing a fair coin is 0.5, or 50%.

This assumes
that the coin is unbiased and has an equal chance of landing on heads or tails.

2. Number of female students = 835


Total number of students = 820 (males) + 835 (females) = 1655

So, the probability of selecting a female student at random is:

Probability = 835 / 1655 ≈ 0.5048

Therefore, the probability that the randomly selected student would be a female is
approximately 0.5048 or 50.48%.

3. Number of blue Nips = 3


Total number of Nips = 8 (blue) + 3 (blue) + 1 (yellow) + 1 (red) + 1 (green) + 2 (black) = 16

So, the probability of picking a blue Nips at random is:

Probability = 3 / 16

Therefore, the probability that the child will pick a blue Nips is 3/16.

4. Number of favorable outcomes (getting the king of hearts) = 1


Total number of possible outcomes (total number of cards in the deck) = 52

So, the probability of getting the king of hearts from a complete pack of cards is:

Probability = 1 / 52

Therefore, the probability of getting the king of hearts is 1/52.

5. In a standard six-sided die, there are three even numbers: 2, 4, and 6.

So, the probability of obtaining an even number when a die is rolled is:

Probability of even number = (Number of even outcomes) / (Total number of possible outcomes)

Probability of even number = 3 / 6

Simplify:

Probability of even number = 1 / 2

Therefore, the probability of obtaining an even number when a die is rolled is 1/2 or 50%.
