Question

according to the law of probability, what is the chance of flipping a coin and it landing heads up? 1/3 1/1 1/2 1/4

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total outcomes

A coin has 2 sides (heads and tails), so total outcomes \( n(S)=2 \).

Step2: Determine favorable outcomes

Favorable outcome (landing heads up) \( n(E) = 1 \).

Step3: Apply probability formula

Probability \( P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{2} \).

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{2}\)
