What are the odds of getting heads at least once if I toss a coin twice?
the only combination which does not produce heads at least once it tails twice. the odds of getting tails twice is 0.5*0.5=0.25 so the odds for getting heads at least once is 1-0.25=0.75 or 75% or 3/4.
What is the probability of getting three heads if you flip four coins?
75% is not correct. The odds of flipping 4 independent coins is the same as flipping one coin 4 times. The number of outcomes of 4 flips is 2^4 or 16. The number of ways to exactly get 3 Heads is 4 (THHH, HTHH, HHTH, HHHT) so your chance of flipping 3 heas is 4/16 or 25%. If you include the occurance that produced 4 of 4 Heads, then you get 5/16 or 31.25%.
What are the odds against getting all heads or all tails in three successive flips of a coin?
3 to 1
If you flip a coin 100 times and heads show 40 times what are the odds for flipping head?
50/50 50/50? This is equal to 1 which would imply the probability of flipping a head is certain. Obviously not correct as the probability of flipping a head in a fair dice is 1/2 or 0.5
A coin is tossed 3 times. What is the probability of getting 3 tails in a row?
The answer I'm editing says the odds are 1 in 8. This is true only if you actually mean the probability of getting 3 tails in a row, rather than just 3 of either heads or tails in a row. In mentioned case, the first flip doesn't matter which side it lands on, just the proceeding two flips do. So, the odds of flipping a coin three times with the same outcome are 1 in 2^2 or 1 in 4. The odds of flipping three tails in a row are 1 in 2^3 or 1 in 8.
