Hi,
What is the probability of flipping a single coin and having it land heads up and tails up?
Probability: The number of desirable outcomes / the total number of outcomes.
P(landing heads up and tails up) = 0/2 = 0
P(landing heads Up) = 1/2
P(landing tails Up) = 1/2
Can't land with both heads and tails Up
