I recall someone mentioning that "50-50" is just a colloquial way of saying it, but it might not be the formal answer we need.

Okay, I've got this. The chances of a coin landing on heads is 50%, which is the same as one half or 0.5. I'll select the option that best matches that.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know probability has to do with the likelihood of an event happening, but I'm not sure which of these options is the standard way to express the chances of a coin flip.

This seems like a straightforward question. I'd go with option A and use a load testing tool to simulate the expected traffic. That should give us a good idea of how the application will perform under load.
