Question

Please help with probability and odds! Medals shall be awarded.

Answer 1

Scenario: Flipping a coin once
Number of possible outcomes: 2
Desired event (E): Tails
P (E):
Odds in favor:
odds against:

Answer 2

Probability is essentially: Number of desired outcomes divided by the total number of outcomes.

You've been given the total, which is 2. How many of these events are 'tails' ?

Answer 3

There is a 5% chance, I calculated it.

Answer 4

I don't know what you mean by how many events are tails.

Answer 5

Can't possibly be a 5% chance.
I mean, of the total number of possible events, how many of them are tails?
(There are only two possible events: heads and tails and only one of them is 'tails')

Answer 6

There is only one tail.

Answer 7

I got 1:2 for the probability, 1:2 for the odds in favor.

Answer 8

@terenzreignz Haven't done the odds against yet. I'm working on it.
