### If a coin is tossed 5 times what is the probability of getting 5 heads?

If a fair coin is tossed 5 times, the probability of getting 5 heads is:P(H,H,H,H,H) = (1/2)5 = 1/32 = 0.03125 = 3.125% &acirc;&permil;&circ; 3.1%

### When a coin is tossed three times what is the probability of getting at most two heads?

The opposite of getting at most two heads is getting three heads. The probability of getting three heads is (1/2)^2, which is 1/8. The probability of getting at most two heads is then 1 - 1/8 which is 7/8.

### What is probability of getting all heads if 3 coins are tossed simultaneously?

There is a probability of 0.5 of heads on each coin, so there is a 1/2 * 1/2 *1/2 = 1/8 = 0.125 chance that all coins land heads. You can also express this as a percentage, 12.5% chance. The odds are 1 in 8 that this can happen.

### What is the probability of getting 2 heads if a coin is tossed thrice?

(1/2)^3 = 1/8th Since the initial probability (assuming independence) of getting a head in a single toss is one half (1/2) we just cube this probability because of the number of events we are performing. So if you were to try to calculate the probability of a coin being tossed 6 times it would be one half to the 6th power which is 1/64.

### What is the probability of getting heads only once if a fair coin is tossed 4 times?

There is 24 or 16 outcomes. There is 4 ways to get heads once (HTTT &amp; THTT &amp; TTHT &amp; TTTH). So, the probability of getting heads only once if a fair coin is tossed 4 times is 4/16 or 1/4.

### If you tossed a coin 1000 times what is the probability the 785th toss is heads?
