Sam is going to flip a coin 10 times just to see what outcomes he will get. What type of probability is this?
evnciaa. W.
This is a probability were he is keeping the answer so he will have an equal chance of getting the same side each time

What is the probability of tossing a coin 20 times?
Do you mean what are all the possible outcomes? Or what is the probability of a certain outcome? Need a little more information.
What is the probability that the sequence will be Heads-Tails-Heads if you toss a coin 3 times?
Since there are 2 outcomes for a coin toss, and you will toss the coin 3 times the number of outcomes are 23 or 8. Since H-T-H can occur only 1 way, the probability of the H-T-H sequence is 1/8.
How many possible outcomes are there if you toss a fair coin four times?
Normally there would considered to be 2⁴ = 16 possible outcomes as each outcome is one of 2 states: Head or Tails. ------------------------- There is an extremely small probability that a normal coin will end up on its edge, which mean there are 3⁴ = 81 possible outcomes. However, this probability is so small that it is ignored and normally only 2 outcomes are considered possible. As the radius to width ratio of the coin changes, the probability of the coin ending up on its edge changes, for some values being so significant that it becomes a real probability that the edge can result, and for some ratios it is almost always the edge that results and the probability of head or tails (ie ends of the cylinder that is the coin) is so small as to be ignored like the edge for a normal sized coin (cylinder).
Probability to get exactly 2 heads when flipping a coin 3 times?
The probability of throwing exactly 2 heads in three flips of a coin is 3 in 8, or 0.375. There are 8 outcomes of flipping a coin 3 times, HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, and TTT. Of those outcomes, 3 contain two heads, so the answer is 3 in 8.
Possible outcomes of tossing a coin?
Heads or tails; each have a probability of 0.5 (assuming a fair coin).
What is the probability of getting two tails if a coin is flipped 3 times?
Your question is slightly vague, so I will pose a more defined question: What is the probability of 3 coin tosses resulting in Tails exactly twice?The three possible (winning) outcomes are:TTHTHTHTTThe other (losing) outcomes are:HHHHHTHTHTHHTTTSo there is a 3 in 8 chance or a probability of 3/8 = 0.375
What is the probability of getting any outcome when tossing a coin 4 times?
The probability of getting any outcome is 100%.The probability of a specific outcome depends on the description of that outcome.Some outcomes are more probable. Some are less probable.
When you toss a coin 5 times probability of getting exactly 4 heads?
Because there are only 2 outcomes for the flip of a coin, for 5 flips you just need to take (1/2)5, which equals 1/32. This implies there are 32 different outcomes for the case of tossing a coin 5 times. From these 32 outcomes 5 have exactly 4 heads: THHHH, HTHHH, HHTHH, HHHTH, and HHHHT. So the probability of getting exactly 4 heads when you toss a coin 5 times is: P(4H,!T) = 5/32 = 0.15625 ≈ 15.6%
In football the referee tosses a coin to determine which team will kick off and which will receive What is the probability that a team will win the toss?
In tossing a coin, there are two outcomes; head or tail. Since there are two outcomes, probability of each outcome is: 0.5. Assuming a fair coin, probability of a head or tail is: 0.5. So, probability a team will win a toss is: 0.5.
How many outcomes are possible if a coin is tossed 15 times?
If a coin is tossed 15 times there are 215 or 32768 possible outcomes.
Is it theoretical or experimental probability if I flipped a coin eight times and got heads six times?
It is neither. If you repeated sets of 8 tosses and compared the number of times you got 6 heads as opposed to other outcomes, it would comprise proper experimental probability.
What is the probability of flipping a coin 7 times?
The probability is 1. I have flipped a coin a lot more than 7 times.
