Through the simulation, show that probability of getting HEAD by tossing a fair coin is about 0.5. Write your observation from the simulation run.
if possible please explain the steps as I am new

One way
vec = randi([0,1],1,1000);
number_of_heads = sum( vec );
number_of_tails = 1000 - number_of_heads
number_of_tails = 534

n = 1000 ; % number of tosses
H = 0 ; % initialize Head count
T = 0 ; % initialize Tails count
% loop of toss
for i = 1:n
if rand > 0.5 % count as heads if random number is > 0.5
H = H+1 ;
else % count as tails if random num,ber is < 0.5
T = T+1 ;
end
end
% getting head
ph = H/n
ph = 0.4890
% Getting Tails
Pt = T/n
Pt = 0.5110
