What is the probability of getting 2 heads when 2 coins are tossed?
The probability of tossing two heads in two coins is 0.25.
What is the probability of tossing two coins and getting heads on both?
1/2
What is the probability that you will get 4 heads in tossing 4 coins?
The probability is 1/2^4 = 1/16
If four coins are tossed what is the probability of tossing all heads?
The probability is 1/21/21/2*1/2=1/16, or 0.0625 or 6.25%
What is the theoretical probability of tossing two coins?
Tossing two coins doesn't have a probability, but the events or outcomes of tossing two coins is easy to calculate. Calling the outcomes head (H)or tails (T), the set of outcomes is: HH, HT, TH and TT as follows: 2 heads = (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4 1 head and 1 tail, can be heads on first coin tails on second, or just the opposite, there's two possible events: (1/2)*(1/2) + (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/2 2 tails = same probability as two heads = 1/4
What is the probability of not tossing three heads with three fair coins?
The probability of something NOT happening is the complement of the probability of something happening. Since the probability that you DO have 3 heads is 1/8 (that is, 1/2 cubed), the complement is 1 - 1/8 = 7/8.
What is the probability of tossing two coins that are different?
The probability of tossing two coins that are different is 1 in 2, or 0.5.The probability of tossing something on the first coin is 1. The probability of not matching that on the second coin is 0.5. Multiply 1 and 0.5 together, and you get 0.5.
What is the probability of landing on an even number when tossing an 8 sided die and tossing a coin and getting heads?
1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 1/2= probability of landing an even number 1/2 = probability of landing a heads
What is the probability of tossing seven coins and getting 6 heads?
The probability of getting only one tails is (1/2)7. With seven permutations of which flip is the tails, this gives a probability of: P(six heads in seven flips) = 7*(1/2)7 = 7/128
Two coins are tossed What is the probability of both coins are heads?
The probability that both coins are heads is the probability of one coin landing heads multiplied by the probability of the second coin landing heads: (.5) * (.5) = .25 or (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4
What is sample space for tossing 2 coins?
The sample space for tossing 2 coins is (H = Heads & T = Tails): HH, HT, TH, TT
When tossing 2 coins the probability of getting exactly 1 tail is .?
0.5
