Question:
You flip a fair coin
; What is P(heads)? If necessary, round your answer to 2 decimal places
Answer:
[tex]P(Head) =0.50[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A fair coin
Required
Determine [tex]P(Head)[/tex]
A coin has two faces (Head (1) and Tail (1) )
i.e. 1 head and 1 tail
Both of which have equal probability, which is calculated as follows:
[tex]P(Head) = P(Tail) = \frac{1}{1 + 1}[/tex]
[tex]P(Head) = P(Tail) = \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]P(Head) = P(Tail) = 0.5[/tex]
Hence:
[tex]P(Head) =0.50[/tex]
