James flipping the coin is an illustration of probability
James' claim is false
How to determine the true statement
The sample space of a coin is:
S = {H,T}
So, the probability of obtaining a tail is:
P(T) = n(T)/n(S)
This gives
P(T) = 1/2
When the coin is flipped twice, the probability that he’ll get tails both times is
P(T and T) = 1/2 * 1/2
Evaluate the product
P(T and T) = 1/4
From the question, he says the probability that he’ll get tails both times is 1/2.
Hence, James' claim is false
