answer:

50/50

Explanation:

hi there!

flip a coin a couple of times, most likely get the same number of heads then you will of tails, since a coin has 2 sides and only two equal sides the probability to flip that very coin and it landing on heads is 50 percent same as landing it on tails, we know its 50 percent because 100 percent is the full amount ( no matter how much the coin is worth ) and dividing that by 2 does indeed equal 50 or 50 percent.

i believe that is one of the reasons why before a lot of sport games start off with a coin toss to chose which team plays first because it is a 50/50 chance for each team, making it fair toss

i hope this helps you! i hope you have a good rest of your day! :)

A coin only has two side so you have a 1 out of 2 chance of getting heads. The probability could change depending on how many times you flip.
