Are any US coins more likely to land on heads or tails?
No there is a fifty fifty chance of getting heads or tails
Is it more likely for a coin to end on heads or tails?
The probability of a fair coin landing on heads or tails is even, i.e. 50/50.
If you flip a coin 4 times which is more likely-getting 2 heads and 2 tails or getting 3 heads and one tail?
2 heads and 2 tails
What does to make heads or tails of something mean?
The image is of flipping a coin and not being able to tell if it comes up "heads" or "tails." You say this when you can't figure something out at all, as in "I just can't make heads or tails out of this report; can you rewrite it so that it makes more sense?"It means that you cannot understand something. Some thing that is really tough to understand. Some thing strange.
What is the probability of tossing exactly three tails?
well it depends on what you are tossing, if its a coin then no. it can be heads too. it would have to be a great coincidence for it to be all tails, but thats why the word probability comes in meaning that there is more than one outcome
Which comes up more when flipping a quarter Heads or tails?
Neither. Its a 50:50 probability. In the long run, heads will match tails.
Do people pick heads or tails more?
tails
What are all the possible outcomes for flipping or tossing three coins a dime a nickel and a penny in an organized manner and how would a tree diagram show these results?
There are eight possible results when flipping three coins (eliminating the highly unlikely scenario of one or more coins landing on their edge): Dime - Heads / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Heads Dime - Heads / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Tails Dime - Heads / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Heads Dime - Heads / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Tails Dime - Tails / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Heads Dime - Tails / Nickel - Heads / Penny - Tails Dime - Tails / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Heads Dime - Tails / Nickel - Tails / Penny - Tails
What is the probability of a coin landing on heads twice when it 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 heads exactly twice? This is a pretty easy question to answer. The three possible (winning) outcomes are: 1. Heads, Heads, Tails. 2. Heads, Tails, Heads. 3. Tails, Heads, Heads. If we look at the possible combination of other (losing) outcomes, we can easily determine the probability: 4. Heads, Heads, Heads. 5. Tails, Tails, Heads. 6. Tails, Heads, Tails. 7. Heads, Tails, Tails. 8. Tails, Tails, Tails. This means that to throw heads twice in 3 flips, we have a 3 in 8 chance. This is because there are 3 winning possibilities out of a total of 8 winning and losing possibilities.

When you flip two coins why does it appear tails and heads more than heads and heads and tails and tails?
Because you are thinking permutations rather than combinations. There are four permutations of two coins, but there are only three combinations, because it does not matter which coin is heads and which coin is tails. As a result, the combination of heads and tails has a 0.5 probability, while two heads or two tails each have a 0.25 probability.

Can you find more experiments related to probability?
colors cards dice coin heads tails
If a fair coin is tossed four times What is the probability that two heads and two tails will result?
Actually, although it may seem like it, it is not 50-50. The answer's more like 55-45 This is because the 'head' side is heavier than the 'tails' side. So it is more likely to be tails 3 heads 1
