The odds that a tossed coin will land tails side down remain one in two no matter how many times the coin has previously been tossed.

How many orders can heads and tails be tossed when a coin is tossed 3 times?
Eight.
What is the probability of tossing 2 heads and 2 tails with a coin tossed 4 times?
When h=head, t=tails First toss: heads/tails (1h/1t) Second toss: heads/tails (2h/1h1t*2/2t) Third toss: heads/tails (3h/2h1t*3/1h2t*3/3t) Fourth toss: heads/tails (4h/3h1t*4/2h2t*6/1h3t*4/4t) In short, 1+4+6+4+1=16 Chances of getting 2 heads and 2 tails = 6/16 * 100% = 37.5%
Two coins are going to be tossed 780 times Predict the number of times 2 heads will be tossed?
Half the time they will be the same, half the time they will be different. Half of the time that they're the same they will be heads, half the time they are the same they will be tails. It's your homework, YOU figure it out. The way I figure it. There are four options: 1) heads / heads 2) heads / tails 3) tails / heads 4) tails / tails By process of chance, one out of four times both coins will be heads/heads. Therefore 780/4 = 195 times.
A coin is tossed 42 times It landed showing tails 10 more times than it landed showing heads What is the experimental probability of the coin landing on tails?
T = H + 10 T + H = 42 so T = 26, H = 16 Therefore Prob(T) = 26/42 = 0.6190
What is the probability of a coin tossed 6 times to have 3 heads and 3 tails?
50/50
If a coin is tossed 3 times what is the probability of 3 heads?
There are 8 possible outcomes when a coin is tossed 3 times. Here they are:1. Heads, Heads, Tails.2. Heads, Tails, Heads.3. Tails, Heads, Heads.4. Heads, Heads, Heads.5. Tails, Tails, Heads.6. Tails, Heads, Tails.7. Heads, Tails, Tails.8. Tails, Tails, Tails.There is only one outcome that is heads, heads, heads, so the probability of three heads coming up in three coin tosses is 1 in 8 or 0.125 for that probability.
If four coins are tossed what is the probability of getting three heads and one tail?
With 4 coins you have 24 (16) possibilities. If we wanted a specific coin to land 'tails' while the others landed 'heads' we would have one possibilty out of 16. Since we don't care which of the coins lands 'tails,' we have four chances in 16 or a 25 percent chance.
How many orders can heads and tails be tossed when a coin is tossed 3 times?
Eight.
What does it mean to say that the chances of getting a head when a coin is tossed are one-half?
It means that if the coin were tossed an infinite number of times, half of the tosses would come up heads and half would be tails.
What is the probability of tossing 2 heads and 2 tails with a coin tossed 4 times?
When h=head, t=tails First toss: heads/tails (1h/1t) Second toss: heads/tails (2h/1h1t*2/2t) Third toss: heads/tails (3h/2h1t*3/1h2t*3/3t) Fourth toss: heads/tails (4h/3h1t*4/2h2t*6/1h3t*4/4t) In short, 1+4+6+4+1=16 Chances of getting 2 heads and 2 tails = 6/16 * 100% = 37.5%

A quarter is tossed 4 times in how many different orders can heads and tails be used?
21
If a coin is tossed then what is the probability that the number is 5?
Coins do not have numbers, there is only the probability of heads or tails.
What is the probability of a coin tossed 6 times to have 3 heads and 3 tails?
50/50
A fair nickel and a fair dice are tossed once outcomes match when both coins land on heads or both coins land on tails What is the theoretical probability of a match?
The probability of 2 coins both landing on heads or both landing on tails is 1/2 because there are 4 possible outcomes. Head, head. Head, tails. Tails, tails. Tails, heads. Tails, heads is different from heads, tails for reasons I am unsure of.
Five coins are tossed How many outcomes have either four heads or four tails?
1/4
