English term or phrase: Fifty:fifty chance

Hola

Tengo que traducir "fifty:fifty chance". ¿Sería lo mismo decir "probabilidad del 50%"? Esta opción me suena más clara y natural, teniendo en cuenta que la oración menciona una sola de las opciones:

You will have a fifty:fifty chance of receiving study drug.

¿Qué les parece?

Gracias.
