you flip a coin.\nwhat is p(not heads)?\nwrite your answer as a percentage.\n%

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the total number of outcomes

When flipping a coin, there are 2 possible outcomes: heads (H) or tails (T). So, (n = 2).

Step2: Determine the number of favorable outcomes for "not heads"

The event "not heads" means getting tails. The number of favorable outcomes for tails is (m=1).

Step3: Calculate the probability as a fraction

The probability formula is (P=\frac{m}{n}). Substituting the values, we get (P=\frac{1}{2}).

Step4: Convert the fraction to a percentage

To convert (\frac{1}{2}) to a percentage, we use the formula (\text{Percentage}=\frac{1}{2}\times100%). [ \begin{align*} \frac{1}{2}\times100%&=(1\times50)%\ & = 50% \end{align*} ]

Answer:

50%
