Probability Problems Involving Coins
When you toss a coin, the outcome can either be head or tail. If the coin is so balanced that these two outcomes are equally likely to occur, then the probability that the outcome is head is 1/2, and the probability that the outcome is tail is also 1/2.
Example
A coin is tossed three times. What is the probability that the head will appear only once?
