The probability that a single coin flip will come up heads is 0.5.

The probability of the coin flip being heads or tails is 100%.

There are two sides to the coin, so the probability of getting heads or tails on one flip of the coin is 1/2 or 50%.

Each time you flip a coin, the probability of getting either heads or tails is 50%.

There is the probability of 1/2 if it is a fair coin. There is the probability of 1 if it is a double-headed coin. There is the probability of 0 if it is a double-tailed coin.

The probability on the first flip is 50% .The probability on the 2nd flip is 50% .The probability on the 3rd flip is 50% .The probability on the 4th flip is 50% .The probability of 4 heads is (50% x 50% x 50% x 50%) = (0.5)4 = 1/16 = 6.25%

The probability of a flipped coin landing heads or tails will always be 50% either way, no matter how many times you flip it.

Flip a coin 1000 times, counting the number of 'heads' that occur. The relative frequency probability of 'heads' for that coin (aka the empirical probability) would be the count of heads divided by 1000. Please see the link.

50%. there are only 2 choices heads or tails and that doesn't change no matter how many times you flip the coin

If it is a fair coin, the probability is 1/4.If it is a fair coin, the probability is 1/4.If it is a fair coin, the probability is 1/4.If it is a fair coin, the probability is 1/4.

The flip of a fair coin is 0.5 heads and tails, so you want the probability of head &amp; head. This probability of garlic, garlic two consecutive tosses is 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25.

if you flip a coin once, the chance it will be heads is 50%

The probability of heads on the first flip is 50%.The probability of heads on the second flip is 50%.The probability of both is (50% x 50%) = 25% .=========================================Another way to look at it:Two tosses can come up in four different ways:H HH TT HT TOnly one of these . . . H H . . . counts as success.1 out of 4 = 25% .

The probability that the coin will land on heads each time is 1/2. (1/2) to the tenth power is 1/1024. This is the probability that the coin will not land on heads. Subtract it from one to get the probability that it will : 1-(1/1024)There is a 1023/1024 or about 99.90234% chance that the coin will land on heads at least once.(There is a 1/1024 chance that the coin will land on heads all four times.)

You collect data. Flip a coin 100 times, you get 49 heads and 51 tails, so the probability of H is 0.49.

Assuming: (a) the coin is fair (each side is the same exact weight) (b) the chance of the coin landing in its side is eliminated (c) the coin is not acted on by any forces such as magnetism The chance of the coin displaying heads is 50%, or 1/2.

If it is a fair coin, the probability is exactly 50%. The coin has no memory of what it did in the last flip. &#9632;

you would think there is a 50% chnce of it landing on heads. However due to the weight of the metal on the picture on the coin it is actually about 5009/10,000 chance it will land on heads.

The probability of getting all heads if you flip a coin three times is: P(HHH) = 1/2 &#8729; 1/2 &#8729; 1/2 = 1/8. The probability of getting all tails if you flip a coin three times is: P(TTT) = 1/2 &#8729; 1/2 &#8729; 1/2 = 1/8. The probability of getting all heads or all tails if you flip a coin three times is: P(HHH or TTT) = P(HHH) + P(TTT) = 2/8 = 1/4.

This is a probability question. Probabilities are calculated with this simple equation: Chances of Success / [Chances of Success + Chances of Failure (or Total Chances)] If I flip a coin, there is one chance that it will land on heads and one chance it will land on tails. If success = landing on heads, then: Chances of Success = 1 Chances of Failure = 1 Total Chances = 2 Thus the probability that a coin will land on heads on one flip is 1/2 = .5 = 50 percent. (Note that probability can never be higher than 100 percent. If you get greater than 100 you did the problem incorrectly) Your question is unclear whether you mean the probability that a coin will land on head on any of 8 flips or all of 8 flips. To calculate either you could write out all the possible outcomes of the flips (for example: heads-heads-tails-tails-heads-tails-heads-heads) but that would take forvever. Luckily, because the outcome of one coin flip does not affect the next flip you can calculate the total probability my multiplying the probabilities of each individual outcome. For example: Probability That All 8 Flips Are Heads = Prob. Flip 1 is Heads * Prob. Flip 2 is Heads * Prob. Flip 3 is Heads...and so on Since we know that the probability of getting heads on any one flips is .5: Probability That All 8 Flips Are Heads = .5 * .5 * .5 * .5 * .5 * .5 * .5 * .5 (or .58) Probability That All 8 Flips Are Heads = .00391 or .391 percent. The probability that you will flip a heads on any of flips is similar, but instead of thinking about what is the possiblity of success, it is easier to approach it in another way. The is only one case where you will not a heads on any coin toss. That is if every outcome was tails. The probability of that occurring is the same as the probability of getting a heads on every toss because the probability of getting a heads or tails on any one toss is 50 percent. (If this does not make sense redo the problem above with tails instead of heads and see if your answer changes.) However this is the probability of FAILURE not success. This is where another probability formula comes into play: Probability of Success + Probability of Failure = 1 We know the probability of failure in this case is .00391 so: Probability of Success + .00391 = 1 Probability of Success = .9961 or 99.61 percent. Therefore, the probability of flipping a heads at least once during 8 coin flips is 99.61 percent. The probability of flipping a heads every time during 8 coin flips is .391 percent.

The probability of each coin flip, independently, is 0.5 or 50%. The probability of getting one result (either heads or tails) four times in a row is 0.5 to the fourth power or 0.0625, which equals 6.25%

The odds of flipping a coin and having it come up heads three times in a row is (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)=(1/8) or 12.5% &#9632;
