\[\frac{ 1 }{ number_of_outcomes }=\frac{ 1 }{ 2}= ??\]

Answer 12

Okay, so if we want to find the probability of Tails. It would be the number of sides of which you are looking for the probability which is Tails in your case/number of outcomes possible.
You have two outcomes..Heads and Tails agree?

Answer 13

40%?

Answer 14

when you flip a coin you only have 2 sides the chance of landing on tails is 1/2 and the chance of it landing on heads is 1/2.

Answer 15

think about it like this

Answer 16

omg if it is 1/2 then you simply multiple\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } * 100\] and that is your answer

Answer 17

we multipled only bcz it is in percent

Answer 18

on a coin you have 2 sides the 2 sides = 100%.
now what is half of 100

Answer 19

or the prbability is 1/2 or 0.5
