Most likely 5,000 times.
Simple question, difficult answer. It depends on how many times you want the penny to land on heads. The probability of a penny landing on heads once is 1 in 2. For it to land on heads twice is 1 in 4, for three times it is 1 in 8, and so on and so forth.
Theoretically, if you have a fair coin, the chances of landing on heads after 1000 tosses is 500, since there are only two outcomes, heads or tails, and each outcome is equally likely. Experimentally, however, the number of times the penny would turn up heads is any number from 1 to 1000, including 1 and 1000 (although these are very unlikely outcomes). The most likely outcome is a number very close to 500.
One out of every four flips
the probability is actually not quite even. It would actually land heads 495 out of 1000 times because the heads side is slightly heavier
The probability that the coin will land on heads each time is 1/2. (1/2) to the tenth power is 1/1024. This is the probability that the coin will not land on heads. Subtract it from one to get the probability that it will : 1-(1/1024)There is a 1023/1024 or about 99.90234% chance that the coin will land on heads at least once.(There is a 1/1024 chance that the coin will land on heads all four times.)
Assuming the penny is unflawed, yes it should. The more times you flip it, the closer the split should be to 50/50.

no... flip it 100 times and my results were 46 tails, 45 heads.
there is even chance of having heads or tails since there is only 1 head and 1 tail on a penny.

A fair coin would be expected to land on heads 10 times on average.
The probability of heads is 0.5 or 1/2. This is wrong, the chances of a penny landing heads up is less than 0.5 because the cast in Lincoln's head weighs more than the tails side of the peeny.
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?
One out of every four flips
It could land on heads any number of times between zero and 150.The most probable result, if the coin is honest and balanced, is 75 times.
A fair coin would be expected to land on heads 75 times.
There are two answers to this question. If it can only land on heads or tails up, then there is a 50% chance ( or half a chance) it will land heads up, but that's not necessarily true. But, if it can land on heads, tails, or sides, then there is a 16% chance it will land tails up.
