The probability of getting a head the next time is still one out of two, so the combined probability is one quarter. Similarly, one eighth is the probability of getting three in a row; but the pattern does not end there, the probability of getting a tails the next time is STILL one in two, so that is a one in sixteen chance of that run, the probability of the entire sequence is therefore one in thirty-two.

What is the probability of tossing a single coin and getting 2 heads before you get 3 tails?
5 independent events, each of them with a probability of 1/2; you need to multiply all together, so you get (1/2) to the power 5.Note: any other specific combination you can get when throwing a coin 5 times - for example, head, tails, head, tails, head - will have the same probability.

What would be the experimental probability of rolling a die 50 times and getting 4?
The experimental probability can't be predicted. If it could, then there wouldn't be any reason to do experiments. The probability of rolling a die 50 times depends on how passionately you want to see what's going to happen if you do. There are six different ways a single die can come up on each roll. So the probability of rolling any particular number between 1 and 6 on each roll is 1/6 or (16 and 2/3) percent. If it isn't, then the die isn't a fair die. The die has no memory, so the probability of any particular number is the same on every roll, even if the same number has or hasn't come up on the previous 100 or 1,000 consecutive rolls. If the probability of any outcome depends on what has come before, then the laws of probability aren't operating, and it's not an honest game.
