### A fair nickel and a fair dice are tossed once outcomes match when both coins land on heads or both coins land on tails What is the theoretical probability of a match?

The probability of 2 coins both landing on heads or both landing on tails is 1/2 because there are 4 possible outcomes. Head, head. Head, tails. Tails, tails. Tails, heads. Tails, heads is different from heads, tails for reasons I am unsure of.

### What is the probability of getting tails twice in a row?

The probability of tossing a coin twice and getting tails both times is 1 in 4, or 25%. If you have already tossed a coin and had it land on tails, the probability that it will land on tails again the next time you toss it is 50%.

### What is the probability of flipping 4 fair coins 1 time and getting all tails?

The probability of getting all tails when you flip 4 fair coins 1 time is:P(4 tails) = (1/2)4 = 1/16 = 0.0625 = 6.25%

### If you toss 4 coins what is the chance of them all landing on tails?

The probability of a fair coin landing on tails is 0.5. The probability of 4 tails is .5*5*.5*.5 = 0.0625.

### A coin is tossed 4 times. What is the probability of getting tails 4 times in a row?

The probability to get tails once is 1/2 (for a fair coin) The probability to get tails twice = the probability to get it once x the probability to get it a second time The probability to get tails 4 times in a row is (1/2)4=1/16 The probability to get tails n times in a row is (1/2)n=1/2n The same thing is also true for heads (same probability: 1/2 each time)

### 4 coins tossed together. What is the probability of getting 2 tails?

The probability of it is 37.5%. Since there are 16 possible outcomes. calculated by 2 to the power of 4. only 6 gives you the prefered results then it's a simple 6:16 ratio

### What is the probability of getting 2 tails if 3 fair coins are tossed?

There are eight possible outcomes: HHH, HHT, HTT, HTH, TTT, TTH, THH, THT. Of these, 3 contain two tails: HTT, TTH, and THT and the probability of getting two tails is 3/8. If the question were 'getting at least two tails' then TTT would need to be included for a probability of 4/8 or 0.5.

### Two coins are tossed what is the probability of getting no head?

lets get some facts odds of head on 1 coin 50% or evens odds of no head 50% or evens the possible results vary from 1 coin to 2 coins. 1 coin has 2 results heads or tails 2 coins have 4 results. heads heads, tails tails, tails heads, heads tails. each outcome has a probability of 25%. for the question we remove the heads and tail probability and we have 2 outcomes with heads and one without. so 2 to 1 chance or 33.3333 recuring chance.

### Two coins are tossed What is the probability of both coins are heads?

The probability that both coins are heads is the probability of one coin landing heads multiplied by the probability of the second coin landing heads: (.5) * (.5) = .25 or (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4

### If four coins are tossed what is the probability of getting three heads and one tail?

With 4 coins you have 24 (16) possibilities. If we wanted a specific coin to land 'tails' while the others landed 'heads' we would have one possibilty out of 16. Since we don't care which of the coins lands 'tails,' we have four chances in 16 or a 25 percent chance.

### Seven coins are tossed What is the probability of 3 heads or 2 tails?

The probability of one event or the other occurring is the probability of one plus the probability of the other. The probability of getting 3 heads is the probability of 3 heads (1/23) multiplied by the probability of 4 tails (1/24) multiplied by the number of possible ways this could happen. This is 7c3 or 35. Thus the probability of 3 heads is 0.2734375. The probability of 2 tails is the probability of 2 tails (1/22) multiplied by the probability of 5 heads (1/25) multiplied by the number of ways this could happen. That is 7c5 or 21. Thus the probability of 2 tails is 0.1640625 The probability of one or the other is the sum of their probabilities: 0.1640625 + 0.2734375 = 0.4375 Thus the probability of getting 3 heads or 2 tails is 0.4375.

### Probability of two coins landing on tails?

the probabiluty of two coins landing on tails is 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4, or one chance in four

### If a coin is tossed 4 times and heads comes up all 4 times the probability of getting heads on the fifth try is?

0.5, 1/2, 50% The probability for heads versus tails does not change based on the amount of times the coin is tossed. It will always be a 50% chance.

### What is the probability of flipping 4 coins and getting all heads or all tails?

The probability of getting all heads is 1/24 = 1/16 The probability of getting all tails is also 1/24 = 1/16 The probability of all heads or all tails is the sum of the two = 1/8

### What is the probability of getting at most one head when two coins are tossed?

Sample space for two coins tossed is: HH HT TH TT Therefore at most one head is HT TH TT or 3/4 or 0.75.

### How many simple events are in the sample space when three coins are tossed?

There are 4 events: 3 heads, 2 heads 1 tail, 1 head 2 tails, and 3 tails.

### If you toss 4 coins what is the probability of getting four heads and zero tails?

The probability of getting a head is 1/2 and if you toss it 4 times, the probability of 4 heads is (1/2)^4=1/16 since the tosses are independent events.
