Fair Coin Example
27
Fair Coin Example
This means there is EQUAL CHANCE of the coin landing on one side or the other.
28
Fair Coin Example
This means there is EQUAL CHANCE of the coin landing on one side or the other.
What are the CHANCES of the coin landing on HEADS if I were to flip it in the air and let it land on the ground or table surface?

Formula...
30
Formula...
The properties of the coin are as such that it is equally likely the coin will land on one side or the other.
31
Formula...
The properties of the coin are as such that it is equally likely the coin will land on one side or the other.
The Experiment
- What is the probability if I flip the coin that HEADS will land face up?
32
Formula...
The properties of the coin are as such that it is equally likely the coin will land on one side or the other.
The Experiment
- What is the probability if I flip the coin that HEADS will land face up?
P (H) = ?
33
What is Probability?
Probability is some type of process of predicting the outcome of an event that is fundamentally random.
The Experiment
- What is the probability if I flip the coin that HEADS will land face up?
P (H) = ?
