### Flip 3 coins?

The probability you'd get heads is still one half.

### If You flip 9 fair coins Amazingly the first 8 flips all come up heads What is the probability that the final flip will be a head too?

1/2 apex It does not matter what each prior flip's result was. Each flip has a probability of 0.5 heads or tails. Coins do not have "memory".

### If you Flip four coins at once what is probability of 2 head and 3 tail?

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/If_you_Flip_four_coins_at_once_what_is_probability_of_2_head_and_3_tail" The probability of flipping four coins and getting 2 heads and 3 tails is ZERO 2 heads and 3 tails requires flipping FIVE coins.

### What is the probability that a single coin flip will come up heads?

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

### What is the probability that a coin lands on its heads and tails?

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

### What is the probability of flipping a coin 4 times and getting heads each time?

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%

### Suppose six coins are flipped then the probality of getting at least one tail?

The probability of getting at least one tail in a flip of six coins is the same as the probability of not getting all heads, which is 1 - (0.56), or 0.984375.

### What is the probability of getting heads on the one flip of coin?

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%.

### What is the probability of getting tails when you flip a coin?

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

### When you flip two coins why does it appear tails and heads more than heads and heads and tails and tails?

Because you are thinking permutations rather than combinations. There are four permutations of two coins, but there are only three combinations, because it does not matter which coin is heads and which coin is tails. As a result, the combination of heads and tails has a 0.5 probability, while two heads or two tails each have a 0.25 probability.

### Three coins are flip at the same time What is the probability that the outcome is at least 2 heads?

There are four outcomes possible (not considering order)HHHHHTHTTTTTOnly in two of the cases are there two or more headsThe probability is 0.5

### What is the probability of getting four heads when flipping four identical coins at once?

The probability is 2/4 or 4/8 or 1/2. The reason is that if you have 4 identical coins and you flip all of them at once you have half a chance because you could either get all heads, all tails, or a combination.

### What is the probability of tossing seven coins and getting 6 heads?

The probability of getting only one tails is (1/2)7. With seven permutations of which flip is the tails, this gives a probability of: P(six heads in seven flips) = 7*(1/2)7 = 7/128

### If you flip a coin three times what is the probability of getting 2 heads?

The possible outcomes are: hhh hht hth thh htt tht tth ttt If you mean exactly 2 heads (and not 3 heads), then you can see 3 out of 8 possibilities have exactly 2 heads. So the probability is 3/8 or 0.375 If you mean at least 2 heads (2 or 3 heads), then 4/8 or 0.5.

### What is experemental probobility?

Expirimental probability is when you use an expiriment to find the probability of a certain predicament. For example: Let's say you flip a coin 10 times. Before you flip you guess that you flip 5 heads and 5 tails or 1/2 heads and 1/2 tails. You guess this because one side is heads and the other side is tails so its an even risk. This is theoretical probability. When you actually do flip the coins you get, lets say, 8 heads and 2 tails. This would make your expirimental probability 4/5 heads and 1/5 tails. That is because you based the evidence on an expiriment rather than a guess. The longer the expiriment is, the more accurate your evidence will be.

### What is the probability to have exactly 220 heads when you flip 400 coins?

Do a binomial expansion of (T + H)400. Evaluate the 221st term for H= 1/2 and T = 1/2 and you have the answer. There is some short cut to get that term quickly, but I've forgotten it.

### You toss a fair coin 5 times and get 5 consecutive heads. What is the probability of tossing a head on the next toss?

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;

### What is the probability of exactly three heads in four flips of a coin given at least two are heads?

If you know that two of the four are already heads, then all you need to find isthe probability of exactly one heads in the last two flips.Number of possible outcomes of one flip of one coin = 2Number of possible outcomes in two flips = 4Number of the four outcomes that include a single heads = 2.Probability of a single heads in the last two flips = 2/4 = 50%.

### What is the probability of getting exactly three heads when you flip a coin four times?

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.

### What is Probability of Flipping a coin five times in a row and having it land on heads?

The probability of getting a heads on the first flip is 1/2. Similarly, the probability on each subsequent flip is 1/2, since they are independent events. The probability of several independent events happening together is the product of their individual probabilities.

### What is an example of relative frequency probability?

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.

### Why if you flip a coin 1000 times you should get about 500 heads and 500 tails?

Because the probability of heads is 0.5 and the probability of tails is 0.5. That does not mean, however, that you will get exactly 500 of each outcome in 1000 trials. The more trials you perform, the closer to the theoretical probability you will get. You will be close with 1000 trials, but you will not be exact, unless you are very lucky.
