Coin flipping, coin tossing, or heads or tails is the practice of throwing a coin in the air and checking which side is showing when it lands, in order to choose between two alternatives, heads or tails, sometimes used to resolve a dispute between two parties.
Some historians believe that the game began in Ancient Greece where boys covered one side of a shell with black pitch and left the other side white before flipping it in the air. Wherever it started, the coin flip has become a part of everyday life in all corners of the globe.
A coin has 2 possible outcomes because it only has two sides. This means that the probability of landing on heads is 1/2. So, the probability of landing on heads is (1/2) x 100, which is 50%. Although modern research shows that this phenomenon depends on the distribution of mass on the sides in the coin itself.
