False

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of it not having tail on the tenth flip is 1 (one) minus the probability of having tail, and I'm this case we will be expecting a head.

Probability of a head = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5.

In rewriting the statement as a true statement we will say 'The probability it will land heads up on the tenth flip is equal to 0.5'
