Another rich math problem from N-rich. This one involves working out the probability of getting two outcomes when tossing a coin to see which event, if any, is more likely. This would make an ideal investigation lesson into probability and can be extended to the pupils drawing probability trees. It comes with teacher notes and a full set of solutions so easy to plan.
