Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

An unbiased coin is flipped. What is the probability of getting a tails?

Unnamed gap

Advice

When we flip an unbiased coin there are $2$ possible outcomes: heads or tails. Both outcomes are equally likely.

$\begin{align} P(\text{tails}) &= \displaystyle\frac{\text{number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{total number of outcomes}}\\ &= \displaystyle\frac{1}{2}. \end{align}$
