Question 3
Why is tossing a coin considered to be a fair way of deciding which team should get the ball at the beginning of a football game?

Answer 1

The tossing of a coin is considered to be a fair way of deciding which team should get the ball at the beginning of a football game. As we know that the tossing of the coin only land in one of two possible ways – either head up or tail up. It can reasonably be assumed that each outcome, head or tail, is as likely to occur as the other, i.e., the outcomes head and tail are equally likely. So the result of the tossing of a coin is completely unpredictable.
