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
