The probability of getting all tails when you flip 4 fair coins 1 time is:P(4 tails) = (1/2)4 = 1/16 = 0.0625 = 6.25%
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".
The probability of the coin flip being heads or tails is 100%.

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.
The probability of the coin flip being heads or tails is 100%.
one fourth
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.
1/16 * * * * * The correct answer, however, is 4/16 = 1/4.
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
The probability of flipping one coin and getting tails is 1/2. In order to find the probability of multiple events occurring, you find the product of all the events. For 3 coins the probability of getting tails 3 times is 1/8 because .5 x .5 x .5 = .125 or 1/8.
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.
