Answer: We should ASSUME 1/2 or 50%

Step-by-step explanation: Since we don't know the exact number of times the person flipped the coin, we must infer you mean he/she flips the coin once. So, If a coin has 2 sides and the probability is 100% total, we can write an expression to help us solve:

P(Probability)= 100/2

P= 50% or 1/2

How I got 50% or 1/2 is I took the whole probability (100%) and divided it by 2. (2 sides on a coin)

I hope this helped (at least)

Step-by-step explanation: Without more information, it is impossible to determine the experimental probability that a coin will land on heads. The experimental probability of an event is determined by performing experiments and observing the results. For example, if we were to flip a coin 10 times and it landed on heads 6 times, we could say that the experimental probability of the coin landing on heads is 6/10, or 0.6. However, without knowing the results of any experiments, it is impossible to determine the experimental probability of the coin landing on heads.
