    Question is not clear enough

    I'll assume the question is this:

    A fair coin has 2 sides (heads and tails) that are equally likely to show when the coin is flipped. What is P (tails) ?

    Answer:

    P (tails) = 0.5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    Number of sides = 2

    Number of head = 1

    Number of tails = 1

    Let P (Tail) = Probability of obtaining a tail when the coin is flipped.

    P (Tails) is calculated as follows;

    P (Tails) = Number of Tails/Total Number of Sides

    Substitute in the values of Number of Tails and Total Number of Sides

    P (Tails) = 1/2

    P (Tails) = ½

    P (Tails) = 0.5

    Hence, the probability of obtaining a tail provided that the two sides of the coin are equally likely to show when the coin is flipped is 0.5
