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:

Because the two possible outcomes, head and tail, are equally likely.

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

A fair coin has two faces and, under normal conditions, each face has the same chance of appearing on any toss. So no team has an advantage, making the decision fair.
