Tossing a coin 9 times and getting tails what is the probability of getting tails on the next toss?
Since each event is independent, the probability remains at 0.5.
What would be the outcomes of tossing 2 coins once?
Two ways to think about it: 1: 25% both heads 50% one of each 25% both tails -or- 2: 25% heads/heads 25% heads/tails 25% tails/heads 25% tails/tails
Possible outcomes of tossing a coin?
Heads or tails; each have a probability of 0.5 (assuming a fair coin).
What is the fundamental counting principal of tossing 4 coins?
For each of the coins, in order, you have two possible outcomes so that there are 2*2*2*2 = 16 outcomes in all.
What is the probability of tossing a coin x3 getting exactly 2 tails?
Each toss has 2 possible results.A series of 3 tosses has (2 x 2 x 2) = 8 possible overall scenarios.Three scenarios have exactly two tails: TTH, THT, and HTT.So the probability is 3/8 = 37.5% .
Two coins are tossed. What is the probability of tossing at least one head?
There are 2 coins, 1 and 2. Each has two possibilities, H or T. The possibilities are: 1H, 2H 1H, 2T 1T, 2H 1T, 2T Each possibility has an equal chance of happening. The chance of tossing at least one head is 3/4.
What is the probability of tossing a single coin and getting 2 heads before you get 3 tails?
5 independent events, each of them with a probability of 1/2; you need to multiply all together, so you get (1/2) to the power 5.Note: any other specific combination you can get when throwing a coin 5 times - for example, head, tails, head, tails, head - will have the same probability.
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.
What are the Possible outcomes of tossing four coins at once?
Each coin can come out either heads (H) or tales (T). Since you're tossing four coins at once, I'm assuming there is no sense of order to be accounted for. In that case, the possible outcomes are the following: HHHH HHHT HHTT HTTT TTTT
When you flip two coins why does it appear tails and heads more than heads and heads and tails and tails?
Because you are thinking permutations rather than combinations. There are four permutations of two coins, but there are only three combinations, because it does not matter which coin is heads and which coin is tails. As a result, the combination of heads and tails has a 0.5 probability, while two heads or two tails each have a 0.25 probability.
Three fair coins are tossed- whats the probability of tossing at least one head?
The chance for each toss is 1/2. The chance of all three flips being tails is 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8. So the probability of at least one head is 7/8.
What is the possibility of getting 2 tails when 3 coins were tossed once?
Ignoring the very small probability of the coins landing on their edge, the probability of header = probability of tails = 1/2 Pr(2 tails) = ₃C₂ × ½² × ½¹ = 3 × ½³ = 3/8 --------------------------------------------- This is small enough to list the possible outcomes: Outcomes = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT} (In each outcome the first letter is the first coin, 2nd letter the second coin and the third letter the third coin, which can be either H = Heads, or T = Tails.) There are 8 outcomes of which {HTT, THT, TTH} 3 satisfy having 2 tails → pr(2 tails) = 3/8
