Given that all coins are fair and probability of “heads” = probability of “tails” = \(\frac{1}{2}\) and we need to find which of the following events has the greatest probability?

Since the coins are fair so at each and every toss P(H) = P(T) = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

So, irrespective of how many tosses we do, Number of Heads = Number of Tails = \(\frac{1}{2}\) * Number of tosses

=> After 24 tosses, Number of Heads = Number of Tails = \(\frac{1}{2}\) * Number of tosses = \(\frac{1}{2}\) * 24 = 12

So, Answer will be B
Hope it helps!
