well since the coins have two sides,there is a 50% chance of it landing on heads

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 the probability of flipping two coins and one landing on heads and one landing on tails?
It is 1/2.
Three fair coins are tossed determine the probability of the following event exactly two coins land on heads?
The sample space is 23 or 8; which can be listed out as: HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT. There are 2 of the 8 that have exactly 2 heads; so the probability of exactly two coins landing on heads is 2/8 or 1/4.
What is the probability of landing on heads 6 times?
The probability is 6 in 12, or 1 in 2.
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
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 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 the probability of flipping two coins and one landing on heads and one landing on tails?
It is 1/2.
2 coins are flipped. What is the probability of landing one heads and one tails?
It is 1/2.
What is the probability of seven coins tossed simultaneously and all of them landing on heads?
It is 1/2^7 = 1/128.
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.
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 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)
What is the probability of landing on an even number when tossing an 8 sided die and tossing a coin and getting heads?
1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 1/2= probability of landing an even number 1/2 = probability of landing a heads
What is the probability of a coin landing on heads?
1 in 2, or 0.5
Three fair coins are tossed determine the probability of the following event exactly two coins land on heads?
The sample space is 23 or 8; which can be listed out as: HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT. There are 2 of the 8 that have exactly 2 heads; so the probability of exactly two coins landing on heads is 2/8 or 1/4.
What is the probability of landing on heads 6 times?
The probability is 6 in 12, or 1 in 2.
