Answer: 0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The given statement :- You flip a fair coin

The outcomes of flipping a fair coin : Tail or Heads

i.e. the total number of possible outcomes =2

The number of favorable outcome (Head)=1

Now, if you flip a fair coin the probability of getting head is given by :-

[tex]\text{P(Head)}=\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total outcomes}}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}=0.50[/tex]

Hence, [tex]\text{P(Head)}=0.50[/tex]

You flip a fair coin P(heads) = 0.50

Given:  Fair coin is flipped.

Their will be only two outcomes if we flip any fair coin, i.e.

  • Tail
  • Head

What is the meaning of a fair coin ?

According to probability any sequence of independent trials of Bernoulli with the probability half (equal) of success on every trial is called a fair coin.

Another for which the probability is not half is called unfair coin.

Now according to the question here we flip a coin we get either a head or a tail.

So,

The total number of possible outcomes = 2

The number of favorable outcome (Head)=1

The formula for finding the Probability =

[tex]\text{P(x)}=\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total outcomes}}[/tex]

x = the experiment given in the question.

Now, here according to the question if we flip a fair coin we have to find the probability of getting a head.

Therefore,

The probability of getting head is given by :-

 [tex]\text{P(Head)}=\dfrac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total outcomes}}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=0.50[/tex]

Therefore, if we flip a fair coin P(heads) = 0.50.
