For a fair coin, we expect that if we toss it a very large number of times, then roughly half the time we will get heads and half the time we will get tails. We can say that the probability of getting heads is 1/2 and the probability of getting tails is 1−1/2=1/2 . Thus the two possibilities have equal a priori probabilities.
