What is the probability of flipping a coin 20 times and getting 1 tails and 1 heads?
None, since that would imply that in 18 cases the coin did not show heads or tails!
If you flip a coin to determine the pizza if the coin sHow is heads the pizza is garlic if the coin is tails the pizza is cheese what is the probability that the pizza would be garlic on two consecuti?
The flip of a fair coin is 0.5 heads and tails, so you want the probability of head & head. This probability of garlic, garlic two consecutive tosses is 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25.
If you flip a coin 100 times and heads show 40 times what are the odds for flipping head?
50/50 50/50? This is equal to 1 which would imply the probability of flipping a head is certain. Obviously not correct as the probability of flipping a head in a fair dice is 1/2 or 0.5
Which numbers show an element of the sample space for first rolling a die and then tossing a coin?
(1,2,3,4,5,6][Heads,Tails] is a depiction of this notation. It is an expression of probability.
What is a biased coin probability?
A biased probability is one where not every outcome has the same chance of occurring. A biased coin is one where one side, the "heads" or "tails" has a greater probability than the other of showing. A coin which has a centre of gravity closer to the tails side than the heads side would be biased in that heads is more likely to show than tails. The size of coin can have an effect on the probability of heads and tails - during the Royal Institute Christmas lectures in the 1990s demonstrating probability a large version of the pound coin was made to be able to allow the audience to see it being tossed - on the broadcast (and tape) version it landed and stayed on its edge! showing the probability of heads = tails ≠ ½; the probability of heads = probability of tails, but they are actually slightly less than ½ as the coin could land on its edge and stay there - with a standard size coin, if it lands on its edge it takes very little for the centre of gravity to shift outside the base of the edge and for the coin to fall over, but with a very large similar coin (ie one scaled up [proportionally] in lengths) it can take quite a bit before the centre of gravity goes outside the base if it lands on its edge which forces it to fall over (plus there will be a "significant" rise in the centre of gravity to do so, thus favouring stability on an edge which does not exist in the standard, small, sized version of the coin).
What is the probability of flipping 2 coins and having both show heads?
If both tosses are fair, the probability of that outcome is one in four.
A coin is tossed twice what is the probability that it will show heads both times?
The probability is 0.25.Look at it this way--if you toss a coin twice, there are four equally-probable outcomes:tails, tailstails, headsheads, tailsheads, headsSo the probability of heads twice in a row is one in four, or 25%.the chance of tossing heads is 1/2 (50%) The chance of tossing the next heads is 1/2 (50%) 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4 (25%)
Why do complementary events always have a probability of one?
If an event is absolutely certain to happen is then we say the probability of it happening is 1.Complementary events are such that one of the events musthappen. Therefore the probability of one of a set of complementary events occurring is 1.For instance : The probability that a fair coin when tossed will come down showing heads is 1/2, and that it will show tails is also 1/2.The two events are complementary so the probability that the coin toss will result in either a heads or a tails is 1.Similarly, the probability that a die when rolled will show a number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 is 1 as all six events are complementary.
What is the probability of tossing three coins and having all of them show tails?
When we toss a coin getting head or tail have equal probability of 50% - that is, out of the two possible outcomes getting the specified one becomes 1/2 probability. When we toss three coins, the probability of getting all the coins showing tails is given by (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) equal to 1/8 or 12.5 % chance. Alikban

What are all the possible outcomes for flipping or tossing three coins a dime a nickel and a penny in an organized manner and how would a tree diagram show these results?
There are eight possible results when flipping three coins (eliminating the highly unlikely scenario of one or more coins landing on their edge): Dime - Heads / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Heads Dime - Heads / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Tails Dime - Heads / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Heads Dime - Heads / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Tails Dime - Tails / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Heads Dime - Tails / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Tails Dime - Tails / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Heads Dime - Tails / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Tails
How many times would a coin have to show heads in 50 tosses to show an experimental probability of 20 percent more than the theoretical probability of getting heads?
Theoretical probability = 0.5 Experimental probability = 20% more = 0.6 In 50 tosses, that would imply 30 heads.
What is the probability of a independent event is going to happen?
If it's an independent event then it's probability does not depend on preceding events. For example, if I flip a coin twice the probability that the coin will show 'heads' the second time is independent of what happened the first time; it's just 1/2.
When tossing 5 coins simultaneously find the probability that at least 1 head is showing.?
This is easiest to solve by working out the probability that no heads show and subtracting this from 1 to give the probability that at least one head shows: Assuming unbiased coins which won't land and stay on their edge, the probability of head = probability of tail = ½ → probability no heads = probability 5 tails = ½^5 = 1/32 → probability of at least one head = 1 - 1/32 = 31/32 = 0.96875 = 96.875 % = 96 7/8 %

What are the odds in favor of getting at least one head in 3 consecutive flips of a coin?
>>> 1:7 (or, if you like probability, 87.5%)I disagree. There are four possible combinations of three tosses (where order does not matter):HHHHHTHTTTTTThree of these combinations will show at least one head - only by throwing three tails will you not throw at least one head.Thus, the probability of throwing at least one head in three flips is 75%.
