Since you have the possibility of two outcomes, you have a 1 in 2 change of flipping tails. That is also 50%. That's as much help as I am giving you with your multiple choice homework question.
Now assume you flip the coin and it falls on the floor and gets stuck between a floorboard. Is that a fair toss? So maybe you have three options, heads, tails and other? Then you'd only have a 1 in 3 chance, or 33 1/3%
the 1st 3 flips would be something, after that the final 3 are uniquely unique. as an occasion, if he?she? gets H H T, then the subsequent 3 must be H T T. because of the fact the prospect of any unique turn coming up 'suited' is a million/2, the over danger is a million/2 * a million/2 * a million/2 = a million/8.
since the coin is fair then that means the sides are equally likely to land upright so since there are 2 sides of the coin you take 100% and split it up equally. therefore the tail side is 50% likely to land upright.

wow, you really need to study...
there are two outcomes (heads or tails) so the answer is 1/2, or .5

Go figure.
There are two possibilities of the result of the flip, heads or tails.
flipping tails is one out of the two possibilities or 1/2 or .5 probability.
