Probability worksheet for students to predict and record the likelihood of heads or tails when flipping a coin ten times.

Let’s walk through this step by step.

You’re flipping a coin 10 times and recording whether it lands on heads or tails each time. Then you’ll calculate the probability of getting heads based on your actual results.

But here’s the thing — since we can’t actually flip a real coin right now, we’ll simulate what might happen in a typical experiment. In reality, every flip is random, but over 10 flips, you’d expect around 5 heads and 5 tails — because a fair coin has a 50% chance for heads and 50% for tails each time.

Let’s pretend we flipped the coin 10 times and got these results:

Flip 1: Heads
Flip 2: Tails
Flip 3: Heads
Flip 4: Heads
Flip 5: Tails
Flip 6: Tails
Flip 7: Heads
Flip 8: Tails
Flip 9: Heads
Flip 10: Tails

Now let’s count how many heads we got:
Heads on flips: 1, 3, 4, 7, 9 → That’s 5 heads.

So out of 10 flips, 5 were heads.

To find the probability (as a percent), you do:

(Number of heads ÷ Total flips) × 100
= (5 ÷ 10) × 100
= 0.5 × 100
= 50%

That matches what the worksheet says: if you get 5 heads out of 10, the probability is 50%.

Also, for the prediction part — before flipping, most people would guess 50%, because that’s what you’d expect from a fair coin.

So even though your actual result might be different (like 6 heads or 4 heads), in this simulated case, we got exactly 5 heads — so the probability is 50%.

Final Answer:
50
