### What is the probability of getting tails twice in a row?

### What is the probability of tossing tails on a coin four times in a row?

The probability of Tails on the first toss is 0.5 .The probability of Tails on the second toss is 0.5 .The probability of Tails on the third toss is 0.5 .The probability of Tails on the fourth toss is 0.5 .The probability of all four is (0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5) = 0.0625 = 6.25%

### What is the probability of getting three tails if you flip a coin three times?

Since the probability of getting tails is 50% or 0.5, the probability of three tails would be 0.5*0.5*0.5=0.125 or 12.5 %

### After tossing the same coin 10 times you are surprised to find that tails has come up 9 times You therefore conclude that this coin is not fair and that the probability of getting tails with this co?

It may be that you don't have a "fair coin", or it might just be chance. To be sure - or rather, reasonably sure - you need to try tossing it quite a bit more times.

### What is the probability of getting at least 3 tails when tossing a coin six times?

Because a coin is two-sided, 50/50 is always the probability. Unless your coin lands on the grass (on the lawn), then it will probably land on its edge.

### What is the probability of getting tails if a coin is tossed 4 times?

If you look at the as the probability of getting 1 or more tail in 4 coin tosses, you would then calculate the probability of tossing 4 heads in a row and subracting that from 1. The probability fo tossing 4 heads is 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/16. 1 - 1/16 = 15/16.

### What is the probability of getting 3 for tossing a die 300 times?

### 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

### What is the probability of getting zero tails?

The probability of getting zero tails is 1/2. The probability of getting zero tails twice in a row is 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4. The probability of getting zero tails three times in a row is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8, etc... .

### A coin is tossed 4 times. What is the probability of getting tails 4 times in a row?

The probability to get tails once is 1/2 (for a fair coin) The probability to get tails twice = the probability to get it once x the probability to get it a second time The probability to get tails 4 times in a row is (1/2)4=1/16 The probability to get tails n times in a row is (1/2)n=1/2n The same thing is also true for heads (same probability: 1/2 each time)

### What is the probability of tossing a coin 9 times and getting at least one tail?

The probability of tossing a coin 9 times and getting at least one tail is: P(9 times, at least 1 tail) = 1 - P(9 heads) = 1 - (0.50)9 = 0.9980... &asymp; 99.8%
