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 flipping four coin's to get a head?
The probability of NOT getting heads is (1/2)4=1/16 Therefore the probability of getting heads is 1-1/16=15/16
What is the probability of spinning two coins and getting two heads?
Possible outcomes are HH, HT, TH, TT; therefore the probability of HH is 1/4 or 0.25.
What is the probability of getting a run of three consecutive heads before a run of two consecutive tails when tossing a fair coin over and over?
The probability of getting a head first time is one out of two, or a half. The probability of getting a head the next time is still one out of two, so the combined probability is one quarter. Similarly, one eighth is the probability of getting three in a row; but the pattern does not end there, the probability of getting a tails the next time is STILL one in two, so that is a one in sixteen chance of that run, the probability of the entire sequence is therefore one in thirty-two.
What is the probability of rolling a six-sided dice twice and coming up with at least one number 5?
First calculate the probability of NOT getting a single 5. This probability is 5/6 x 5/6 = 25/36. Therefore, the probability of getting at least one 5 is the complement thereof, that is, 1 - 25/36 = 11/36.

If you were to flip a coin 4 times what is the probability of getting heads at least one time?
As the question is "what is the probability of getting at least one head" the correct way to answer this is to ask what is the probability of not getting any heads and then subtract this from 1.The probability of not getting a head in 4 flips = 0.54 (i.e. 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.5) = 1/16.Therefore the probability of getting at least one head is 1 - 1/16 = 15/16.
How do probability work?
Probability are the odds of something happening but has multiple answers. Such as probability of getting a 5 in a fair dice would be 1 out of 6 because there are 6 numbers on a dice altogether, and ONE chance of getting a 5 from the total of 6. Therefore, the probability of getting a 5 or any number from a dice would be 1/6.

What is the probability that certain genotypes and phenotypes will occur?
This depends entirely on the genotype of the parents. The probability of getting a specific genotype is the probability of getting the correct allele from mother (1/2) multiplied by the probability of getting the correct allele from father (1/2) multiplied by the number of ways this can occur. The probability of getting a phenotype, if the phenotype is dominant, is the sum of the probability of getting two dominant alleles, and the probability of getting one dominant allele. If the phenotype is recessive, the probability is equal to the probability of getting two recessive alleles.
What is the probability of getting kidnapped?
There is no probability. Sorry.

What is the probability of getting a queen and a heart?
The probability of getting the queen of hearts is 1 in 52, or about 0.01923. The probability of getting any queen is 4 in 52, or about 0.07692. The probability of getting any heart is 13 in 52, or exactly 0.25.
What is the probability of not getting 175.3?
The probability is likely to be 1.
What is the probability of tossing a coin and getting a head?
The probability of tossing a coin and getting heads is 0.5
