Technically it's still 50:50 as the second flip has a 50 50 chance and so do all the other flips as they're unrelated events.

it's not like the lottery with its 40million to one chance of getting 6 balls as the first ball coming out is related to the second, as removing the first ball changes the odds of the 2nd, 3rd fourth etc... ball coming out.

The answer above is wrong...

The chance is (1/2)^5 or 0.03125, 3.125%

A coin is tossed five times find the probability of getting exactly three heads?

Since a coin has two sides and it was tossed 5 times, there are 32 possible combinations of results. The probability of getting heads three times in 5 tries is 10/32. This is 5/16.


If a fair coin is tossed ten times what is the probability of getting five heads?

The probability of getting five heads out of 10 tosses is the same as the probablity of getting five tales out of ten tosses. One. It will happen. When this happens, you will get zero information. In other words, this is the expected result.


What is the probability of a coin tossed five times to get four heads?

It is 5/32 = 0.15625


If you were to flip a coin 6 times what is the probability of you getting at least four heads?

To calculate the probability of getting at least four heads when flipping a coin six times, we can use the binomial probability formula. The total number of outcomes for six flips is (2^6 = 64). The probabilities for getting exactly four, five, and six heads can be calculated using the binomial formula, and their sum gives the total probability of getting at least four heads. This results in a probability of approximately 0.65625, or 65.625%.


How many sequences contain exactly three heads when you flip a coin five times?

Ten of them.


If you flip a coin 5 times what is the probability that the coin will land on heads all five times?

The probability that the coin lands on the heads ones: 1/2Two times (1/2)^2 = 1/4Five times (1/2)^5 = 1/32 (so 1 in 32 attempts)n times (1/2)^n


If a coin is tossed 5 times what is the probability it will land on heads?

There is a 50% chance that it will land on heads each toss. You need to clarify the question: do you mean what is the probability that it will land on heads at least once, exactly once, all five times?


What is the probability of getting three heads if you flip a coin five times?

The probability of any 1 result of tossing a coin 5 times, for example HHTHH or TTTTH, is 1/2^5 = 1/32. To find out how many of these results involve getting 3 heads, say HHHTT or HHTHT, we use the calculation 5!/(3!*2!), which = 10. Finally we multiply these 2 results to get 10/32 = 5/16.


What is the chance of getting a head and a five on a spinner?

The chance of getting a head and a five on a spinner depends on the specific setup of the spinner. If the spinner has sections labeled with numbers and heads, you would need to know the total number of sections and the distribution of heads and numbers to calculate the probability. If the spinner is independent of the coin flip (which it typically is), you would multiply the probabilities of getting a head from the coin flip and a five from the spinner. Without specific probabilities, a numerical answer cannot be provided.


A fair coin is tossed ten times in a row. What is the probability that heads comes up exactly five times?

it is a fair chance so 1/2 :P


What is the probability of a coin tossed five times to get three heads?

Each coin toss is a Bernoulli trial with a probability of success of .5. The probability of tossing heads exactly 3 times out of five is3 ~ Bin(5, 1/2), which equals(5!/(3!(5-3)!))(0.5^3)(1-0.5)^(5-3), which is 0.3125.


What is the expected number of flips of a coin to simulate a six-sided die?

Five coin flips. Any outcome on a six-sided die has a probability of 1 in 6. If I assume that the order of the outcome does not matter, the same probability can be achieved with five flips of the coin. The possible outcomes of five flips of a coin are as follows: 5 Heads 5 Tails 4 Heads and 1 Tails 4 Tails and 1 Heads 3 Heads and 2 Tails 3 Tails and 2 Heads For six possible outcomes.
