The probability of getting a head on each occasion if a coin is tossed five times is equal to 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 (that is, 1/25) = 1/32 or one in thirty-two.
The probability of getting a head on the fifth toss is 1/2. All other tosses are independent of the fifth toss.
The probability of getting at least one head when tossing the coin 5 times: Since there are 32 possible combinations and only one of those combinations is all tails you could expect to toss a combination with a head 31/32 times. The probability is 0.96875.
