Given:

A coin is flipped 4 times.

Determine the probability of getting atleast 1 tail

Explanation:

The probability of having heads and tails on a coin flip is ½ or 50%, hence if the coin is flipped 4 times, then the probability of getting at least 1 tail is the same probability as flipping the coin 1 time.

Final answer:

 50%
