Question

Mason plays a game by flipping a fair coin. He wins if the coin lands facing heads-up. What is the probability, as a fraction, that Mason wins the game?

(I need an actual answer, pls)

Answer 1

By flipping the fair coin Mason has a 50 50 chance which in fraction form is 1/2

Answer 2

`(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

There are two ways a fair coin can land: heads and tails. Since there is an equal chance that the coin lands on heads and tails, there is half chance (
`(1)/(2)` or 50%) that the coin lands heads-up.

∴ Therefore, the probability as a fraction is
`(1)/(2)`.

Hope this helps!
