A coin is flipped to decide which team starts the game. What is the probability that your team will start?

A

` 7/2`

B

` 1/2`

C

` 3/2`

D

` 5/2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
We know, Probability(P) = Number of favorable outcomes/Total number of outcomes
When a coin is flipped, there can be total `2` outcomes head and tail.
And we can select `1` option between Head or tail.
So, the probability that our team start `= 1/2`.
