To determine the probability.

Answer to Problem 18PPS

Probability is $\frac{1}{2}$ or 50%

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

Flipping a coin and not landing on heads.

Total possibilities on flipping a coin are 2.

Probability of landing coin on is $\frac{1}{2}$

P(not getting heads) = 1- P(getting heads)

P(not getting heads) $=1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{2}$ or 50%
