### If a coin is tossed then what is the probability that the number is 5?

Coins do not have numbers, there is only the probability of heads or tails.

### What is the probability that exactly two times head are being tossed?

The answer depends on how many times the coin is tossed. The probability is zero if the coin is tossed only once! Making some assumptions and rewording your question as "If I toss a fair coin twice, what is the probability it comes up heads both times" then the probability of it being heads on any given toss is 0.5, and the probability of it being heads on both tosses is 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25. If you toss it three times and want to know what the probability of it being heads exactly twice is, then the calculation is more complicated, but it comes out to 0.375.

### What is the probability that the die tossed will land on a number that is smaller than 5?

The probability that the die tossed will land on a number that is smaller than 5 is 4/6 or 2/3. Smaller than 5 is 1 - 4 and 6 is the sample space.

### What is the probability of getting one head if 3 coins are tossed?

3/8 * * * * * That is the probability of getting EXACTLY 1H. The prob of getting one (or more) head is 7/8

### What is probability of obtaining a number different from 11 when a single fair die is tossed?

A single fair die has the numbers 1 to 6, so when a single fair die is tossed the probability of obtaining a number different than 11 is: P(x diff than11) = 1.

### A coin is tossed five times find the probability of getting exactly three heads?

Since a coin has two sides and it was tossed 5 times, there are 32 possible combinations of results. The probability of getting heads three times in 5 tries is 10/32. This is 5/16.

### If a coin is tossed 5 times what is the probability of getting tails no more then 2 times?

The probability is 0.5The probability is 0.5The probability is 0.5The probability is 0.5

### A fair coin is tossed 5 times What is the probability of exactly 1 head?

First, you find the probability of picking 1 in 5 disregarding order (combination). 5 C 1 = 5/1 = 5 Then you divide that by the possible number of outcomes which is 25. 5/ 2^5= .0195

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

The number of times a coin is tossed does not alter the probability of getting heads, which is 50% in every case, as long as the coin has not been rigged (i.e., a double-headed coin, a weighted coin) to alter the result.

### If 5 coins are tossed what is the probability of getting one winner?

The answer depends on what a winner is: 1 H?, a run of 3 H?If the winner is one H, the probability of getting exactly one winner - no more no fewer - is 5/32.

### If a coin is tossed 5 times what is the probability it will land on heads?

There is a 50% chance that it will land on heads each toss. You need to clarify the question: do you mean what is the probability that it will land on heads at least once, exactly once, all five times?

### What is the probability of tossing a head and rolling an even number?

If the coin is tossed and the die rolled sufficiently many times then the probability is 1: the event is a certainty.For just one toss and roll, the probability is 0.25
