There is a one in two chance of getting heads when a coin is tossed. When
a coin is tossed you can get either a head or a tail. So there are 2 possible
outcomes. But if we want heads then only 1 outcome is successful. So we want
1 outcome out of the 2 possible outcomes. We can write this as a fraction
. To make a fraction you put the number of successful outcomes on top. That's
a 1. Then put the total number of possible outcomes on the bottom. That's
13 983 816.
