Question

What is the probability that a fair coin will land facing tails up when​ flipped?

P(tails)

Answer 1

a 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose you have a fair coin: this means it has a 50% chance of landing heads up and a 50% chance of landing tails up. Suppose you flip it three times and these flips are independent. What is the probability that it lands heads up, then tails up, then heads up? So the answer is 1/8, or 12.5%.
