Suppose six coins are flipped then the probality of getting at least one tail?
The probability of getting at least one tail in a flip of six coins is the same as the probability of not getting all heads, which is 1 - (0.56), or 0.984375.
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
What is the probability of getting 2 heads when 2 coins are tossed?
The probability of tossing two heads in two coins is 0.25.
If a coin is flipped twice what is the probability that both will be heads?
The sample space is HH, HT, TH, HH. Since the HH combination can occur once out of four times, the probability that if a coin is flipped twice the probability that both will be heads is 1/4 or 0.25.
What is the probability of heads commming up when a coin is flipped?
Fifty percent (50%)
If 5 coins are flipped what is the probability of obtaining at least one heads?
The correct answer is 31/32 or 0.96875 because .50/2/2/2/2= 3.125%
What is the probability of flipping heads on the coin?
The probability of flipping Heads on a coin is 1 - a certainty - if the coin is flipped often enough. On a single toss of a fair coin the probability is 1/2.
What is the probability of flipping three coins and all of them land up on heads?
The probability of the first coin landing heads is half (or 1/2). Similarly, the probability of the second and third coins landing heads are also 1/2 in each case. Therefore, the probability of having three heads is: (1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = (1/8)
What is probability of tossing five heads from five coins?
the probability is 0.03125 or 3.123%
What is the probability that a coin flipped four consecutive times will always land on heads?
The probability that a coin flipped four consecutive times will always land on heads is 1 in 16. Since the events are sequentially unrelated, take the probability of heads in 1 try, 0.5, and raise that to the power of 4... 1 in 24 = 1 in 16
A coin is flipped eight times What is the probability that the outcome will NOT be eight heads?
Probability of not 8 heads = 1- Prob of 8 heads. Prob of 8 heads = 0.5^8 = 0.003906 Prob of not 8 heads= 1- 0.003906 = 0.99604
What is the probability that you flip a head after you flipped 100 coins and 87 were heads and 13 were tails?
50% Every time you flip a coin, there is a 50% chance it will come up heads and a 50% chance it will come up tails, no matter how many times you have already flipped it, and no matter what the results were of previous flips.
What is the probability of getting exactly 2 heads by flipping 3 coins?
The probability is 0.375
What is the probability of getting three or more heads when four coins are flipped?
Number of possible outcomes with 4 coins = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16.Number of successes = 2. (Three heads or four heads)Probaility of success = 2/16 = 1/8 = 12.5 percent
What is the probability of 2 coins landing on heads?
well since the coins have two sides,there is a 50% chance of it landing on heads
What is the probability of landing on heads twice?
The probability of landing on heads each time a fair coin is flipped, is 1/2.Assuming that the question was supposed to be:"What is the probability of landing on heads twice in a row?"To calculate compound probabilities like this, we first have to work out the probability of landing on heads each time, and then multiply these two probabilities to get a compound probability.1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4So the probability of landing on heads twice in a row = 1/4 (for a fair coin)
