Question

dion flips a coin 20 times and records if it comes up heads. if getting heads is a success, what is the probability of a success on each flip? 0.2 0.3 0.5 1.00

Explanation:

Step1: Identify possible outcomes

A coin has 2 possible outcomes (heads or tails).

Step2: Calculate probability

The probability of getting heads (success) is $\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. Here, number of favorable outcomes (getting heads) is 1 and total number of outcomes is 2. So the probability is $\frac{1}{2}=0.5$.

Answer:

0.5
