Five coins are tossed how many outcomes are there?
The total number of outcomes is 2^5 = 32.
How many different outcomes are possible when you toss eight coins?
If you toss eight coins, there are 256 (28) different outcomes.
Doesn't the probability of tossing 4 coins equals 24 which is 64 outcomes?
No. The number of outcomes is 24 which is 16, not 64. Furthermore, probability is a number that is associated with an outcome and is a number in the range [0, 1]. Neither 16 nor 64 are number in the relevant range.
What are the odds for flipping two coins and getting two heads?
1 in 4
When flipping two coins at the same time What are the odds that both coins will land on the same side?
The odds are 1 in 2.
How many outcomes for flipping 2 coins 5 times?
16
How many equally likely outcomes are then when flipping 10 coins?
There are 210 = 1024 of them.
How many equally likely outcomes are there when flipping 10 coins?
There are 2^10 = 1024 of them.
What is the probability of three people flipping a coin and two having the same side and the other not?
When flipping a coin, there are 2 possible outcomes. When flipping 3 coins there are 8 possible outcomes (2^3=8). As for the situation described, there is only one way for it to not be true, if all the coins land on the same side. So either all heads or all tails. This leaves 8-2=6 possible outcomes resulting in the above situation. Therefore the probability of the given situation is 6/8 or 3/4=75%
Five coins are tossed how many outcomes are there?
The total number of outcomes is 2^5 = 32.
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%.
How come you do not need to have three actual coins to compute the probabilities for these outcomes?
Because the theory of coin flipping is well understood and so theoretical probabilities can be used.
What is the probabality of flipping three heads when flipping three coins one after another?
The probability of flipping three heads when flipping three coins is 1 in 8, or 0.125. It does not matter if the coins are flipped sequentially or simultaneously, because they are independent events.
The are more outcomes when tossing three coins than when rolling a number cube?
Only if you're counting order. If you call a head then a tail different from a tail and then a head then there are 8 outcomes from the coins; otherwise there are only 4. And clearly a number cube can have anywhere from 1 to 6 outcomes, depending on whether the same number appears multiple times.
How many possible outcomes for flipping 2 coins?
Assuming the coins are fair, two-sided coins, and landing on their sides is not an option, there are four possible outcomes if you consider coin a having a head and coin b having a tail being a different instance from coin a being a tail and coin be having a head. Here they are; Coin A | Coin B Heads | Tails Heads | Heads Tails....| Heads Tails....| Tails
How many possible outcomes can you get by tossing 5 coins?
There are 25 or 32 possible outcomes can you get by tossing 5 coins.
If you toss a penny a nickel and a quarter how many possible outcomes?
There are technically 8 possible outcomes if you are talking about the side of the coin it lands on. Each coin has 2 possible outcomes (landing on heads and landing on tails). To figure out the number of outcomes for all the coins you multiply the outcomes for all of the coins together: 2 X 2 X 2= 8.
