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.

What is the probability of a penny landing on heads?
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.
If you toss a penny 10000 times how many times will it land on heads?
Most likely 5,000 times.
When you toss a coin what is the probability it will land on heads?
the probability is actually not quite even. It would actually land heads 495 out of 1000 times because the heads side is slightly heavier
What is the probability that a dime and penny are tossed in the air both that both land on heads?
One out of every four flips
If you flip a coin 10 times what is the posability that the coin will land on heads?
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.)

no... flip it 100 times and my results were 46 tails, 45 heads.
If a coin was tossed 1000 times what would be the probability that coin will land on heads?
1/2 or 0.5
If you flip a penny 10000 times will it land half the time on tails and half the time on heads?
Assuming the penny is unflawed, yes it should. The more times you flip it, the closer the split should be to 50/50.
If you toss a penny how do you think the coin will land heads or tails explain?

What is the probability that a penny will land heads up?
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.
If a coin is tossed 5 times what is the probability it will land on heads?
