Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
Flipping a fair coin is said to randomly generate heads and tails with equal probability.
Justification:
When a fair coin is tossed, the outcomes of the trial are either heads or tails. The outcome of each trial cannot be predicted, however in many trials, the coin will produce an equal amount of heads and tails.
Thus, the outcomes of the trials are completely haphazard in nature.
