Required

P(Tails)

A fair die has 2 sides, the head and the tail; each of the sides have equal probability.

The number of head in a die is 1 and the number of a tail in a die is 2.

Let P(tail) represent the probability of obtaining a tail.

P(tail) is calculated by number of tail divided by number of sides of a die.

Hence, P(tail) = ½

P(tail) = 0.50
