The odds of each coin toss are 50-50. The coin has no memory; there is no record of what the last four tosses are. EVERY toss is at 50-50 odds.

The chance is 50%-50% that it will be heads or tails; this does not change regardless of the number of previous tosses and their results.
When a fair coin is tossed 10 times in a row what is the probability that heads comes up at least once?
Pr(H at least once in 10 tosses) = 1 - pr(No H in 10 tosses) = 1 - Pr(10 T in 10 tosses) = 1 - (1/2)10 = 1 - 1/1024 = 1023/1024
What is the probbability of getting head if the coin is tossed 300 times?
Prob(Head in 300 tosses of a coin) = 1 - Prob(not a single H in 300 tosses) = 1 - (1/2)300 = 1 - (4.91*10-91) = 0.999...9998 where there are 90 9s before the 8.
What is the probability that a coin that is tossed 10 times what is the probability of it landing on heads 10 times?
The probability is 0.09766%.Each toss has a ½ chance to be heads. To combine probabilities use multiply them. So the probability to get two heads out of two tosses is ½ * ½, and three heads out of three tosses is ½ * ½ * ½. So the exact answer is 0.5^10
What is the probability of getting heads on all 2 tosses if a fair coin is tossed 5 times?
With 5 coin tosses there are 32 possible outcomes. 10 of these have exactly 2 heads, and 26 of these have 2 or more heads.For exactly two coins are heads: 10/32 = 31.25%For two or more heads: 26/32 = 81.25%
What is the probability of getting heads on three successive tosses of a coin?
0.53 = 0.125.
If a fair coin is tossed ten times what is the probability of getting five heads?

Usually, it takes 2-5 flips until a head appears.
When A fair coin is tossed three times. Find the probability of getting a head on the first toss and tails on the second and third tosses?
It is 1/8.
When a fair coin is tossed 10 times in a row what is the probability that heads comes up at least once?
Pr(H at least once in 10 tosses) = 1 - pr(No H in 10 tosses) = 1 - Pr(10 T in 10 tosses) = 1 - (1/2)10 = 1 - 1/1024 = 1023/1024
How many outcomes are possible if a coin is tossed 10 times?
2 sides x 10 tosses, so your possibilities is 2^10 or 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 =1024 outcomes.
What is a probability of getting a two tails in first two chances if coin is tossed 10 times simultaneously?
The probability of getting two tails in the first two is 1/4. And it does not matter how many more times the coins are tossed after the first two tosses.
What is the probbability of getting head if the coin is tossed 300 times?
Prob(Head in 300 tosses of a coin) = 1 - Prob(not a single H in 300 tosses) = 1 - (1/2)300 = 1 - (4.91*10-91) = 0.999...9998 where there are 90 9s before the 8.
