What is the probability of flipping heads on the coin?
The probability of flipping Heads on a coin is 1 - a certainty - if the coin is flipped often enough. On a single toss of a fair coin the probability is 1/2.
If you flipped two coins what is the probability that the first coin is heads?
The probability is always 50/50 even if you flipped 100 or 1000000 coins.
What is the probability of a coin landing on heads twice when it is flipped 2 times?
25%
If a coin is flipped twice what is the probability that both will be heads?
The sample space is HH, HT, TH, HH. Since the HH combination can occur once out of four times, the probability that if a coin is flipped twice the probability that both will be heads is 1/4 or 0.25.
A fair coin is flipped three times what is the probability that the coin lands heads each time?
7/8
What is the probability that a coin flipped four consecutive times will always land on heads?
The probability that a coin flipped four consecutive times will always land on heads is 1 in 16. Since the events are sequentially unrelated, take the probability of heads in 1 try, 0.5, and raise that to the power of 4... 1 in 24 = 1 in 16
In a probability experiment Eric flipped a coin 36 times. The coin landed on heads 24 times. What is the ratio of heads to tails in this experiment?
2 to 1
What is the probability of getting heads at least once if a fair coin is flipped three times?
7/8
A coin is flipped 2 times and the number of heads is observed. Find the probability of tossing 2 heads or 2 tails.?
It is 1/2.
A coin is flipped eight times What is the probability that the outcome will NOT be eight heads?
Probability of not 8 heads = 1- Prob of 8 heads. Prob of 8 heads = 0.5^8 = 0.003906 Prob of not 8 heads= 1- 0.003906 = 0.99604
When a coin is flipped what is the probability that it will come up tails?
The side heads is slightly heavier giving it a greater likely hood of landing on tails.
What is the probability of winning by getting more heads when flipping a coin once or flipping a coin twice?
Your question is a bit difficult to understand. I will rephrase it as follows: What is the probability of getting a head if a coin is flipped once? p = 0.5 What is the probability of getting 2 heads if a coin is flipped twice = The possible events are HT, TH, HH, TT amd all are equally likely. So the probability of HH is 0.25. What is the probability of getting at least on head if the coin is flipped twice. Of the possible events listed above, HT, TH and HH would satisfy the condition of one or more heads, so the probability is 3 x 0.25 = 0.75 or 3/4. Also, since the probability of TT is 0.25, and the probability of all events must sum to 1, then we calculate the probability of one or more heads to be 1-0.25 = 0.75
