You count 58 heads when you toss a coin 10 times. If you don't know whether the coin is fair what is the probability that the next toss will be heads?

If you toss a fair coin 10 times and it lands on heads 8 times what is the probability that it will land on heads?
Since it is a fair coin, the probability is 0.5
What is the probability that a coin that is tossed 10 times what is the probability of it landing on heads 10 times?
The probability is 0.09766%.Each toss has a ½ chance to be heads. To combine probabilities use multiply them. So the probability to get two heads out of two tosses is ½ * ½, and three heads out of three tosses is ½ * ½ * ½. So the exact answer is 0.5^10
What is the probability of getting exactly 3 heads if a fair coin is tossed 8 times?
The probability to get heads once is 1/2 as the coin is fair The probability to get heads twice is 1/2x1/2 The probability to get heads three times is 1/2x1/2x1/2 The probability to get tails once is 1/2 The probability to get tails 5 times is (1/2)5 So the probability to get 3 heads when the coin is tossed 8 times is (1/2)3(1/2)5=(1/2)8 = 1/256 If you read carefully you'll understand that 3 heads and 5 tails has the same probability than any other outcome = 1/256 As the coin is fair, each side has the same probability to appear So the probability to get 3 heads and 5 tails is the same as getting for instance 8 heads or 8 tails or 1 tails and 7 heads, and so on
What is the probability if you flip a coin 3 times and you get no heads?

A coin is tossed 60 times It landed on heads 21 times what is the experimental probability of getting heads?
1/2
What is an example of relative frequency probability?
Flip a coin 1000 times, counting the number of 'heads' that occur. The relative frequency probability of 'heads' for that coin (aka the empirical probability) would be the count of heads divided by 1000. Please see the link.

What is the probability of flipping a coin 3 times and getting 3 heads?
The probability of flipping a coin 3 times and getting 3 heads is 1/2
Tiree tossed a coin 100 times and got 70 heads. how does her probability compare to the mathematical probability?
The mathematical probability of getting heads is 0.5. 70 heads out of 100 tosses represents a probability of 0.7 which is 40% larger.
If you flip a coin 5 times what is the probability it comes up heads on the 3rd flip?
The probability of 'heads' on any flip is 50% .
What is the probablity that the sequence will be heads-heads-heads if you toss a coin 3 times?
the probability of getting heads-heads-heads if you toss a coin three times is 1 out of 9.
What is the probability of landing on heads 6 times?
The probability is 6 in 12, or 1 in 2.
