A coin will land on either heads or tails when tossed
|
Detailed explanation-1: -When we flip a coin there is always a probability to get a head or a tail is 50 percent.
Detailed explanation-2: -Examples: When we flip a coin a very large number of times, we find that we get half heads, and half tails. We conclude that the probability to flip a head is 1/2, and the probability to flip a tail is 1/2. When we role a die a very large number of times, we find that we get any given face 1/6 of the time.
Detailed explanation-3: -A coin has 2 possible outcomes because it only has two sides (heads or tails). This means that the probability of landing on heads is 1/2. So, the probability of landing on heads is (1/2) x 100, which is 50%.
Detailed explanation-4: -The binomial is a type of distribution that has two possible outcomes (the prefix “bi” means two, or twice). For example, a coin toss has only two possible outcomes: heads or tails and taking a test could have two possible outcomes: pass or fail.
