Any time there are two options, heads or tails when you flip a coin for example, the probability is 1/2, that the result will be either one option, or the other. The expected result when the coin lands is a 1/2 probability that it will be heads, and a 1/2 probability that it will be tails. What "1 out of 2 failing" means is that for every two students that take an exam, for example, one of them will fail. Of course, it also means, that 1/2 will pass.
