you flip a coin. what is p(heads)? write your answer as a percentage rounded to the nearest tenth.

Explanation:

Step1: Determine total and favorable outcomes

A coin - flip has 2 total outcomes (heads or tails) and 1 favorable outcome (heads).

Step2: Calculate probability

The probability formula is $P(A)=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$. So $P(\text{heads})=\frac{1}{2}$.

Step3: Convert to percentage

To convert $\frac{1}{2}$ to a percentage, we multiply by 100: $\frac{1}{2}\times100 = 50%$.

Answer:

50.0%
