A fair nickel and a fair dice are tossed once outcomes match when both coins land on heads or both coins land on tails What is the theoretical probability of a match?
Gangel264
The probability of 2 coins both landing on heads or both landing on tails is 1/2 because there are 4 possible outcomes. Head, head. Head, tails. Tails, tails. Tails, heads. Tails, heads is different from heads, tails for reasons I am unsure of.

If a die is tossed once probability of it landing on a 6?
Since there are 6 possible outcomes, and you want the probability of obtaining one of the outcomes (in your case 6), the probability of it landing on a 6 is 1/6.
A simple dice is tossed what is the probability of a two turning up?
There are 6 outcomes, a 2 is one of them so the probability is 1/6.
What is the probability of getting an odd number or a multiple of 3 when an unbiased die is tossed once?
The favourable outcomes are 1, 3, 5 or 6 so the probability is 4/6 = 2/3
If you toss a penny a nickel and a quarter and a dime how many possible outcomes?
Each coin has two possible outcomes, either Heads or Tails. Then the number of outcomes when all 4 coins are tossed is, 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16.
What is the probability of getting heads only once if a fair coin is tossed 4 times?
There is 24 or 16 outcomes. There is 4 ways to get heads once (HTTT & THTT & TTHT & TTTH). So, the probability of getting heads only once if a fair coin is tossed 4 times is 4/16 or 1/4.
When a penny and a nickel are tossed. find the probability that the penny shows heads given that the nickel shows heads?
The probability is 0.5
If a die is tossed once probability of it landing on a 6?
Since there are 6 possible outcomes, and you want the probability of obtaining one of the outcomes (in your case 6), the probability of it landing on a 6 is 1/6.
A simple dice is tossed what is the probability of a two turning up?
There are 6 outcomes, a 2 is one of them so the probability is 1/6.
What is the theoretical probability that the coin lands heads up when tossed?
1/2 (equal to 0.5, or 50%).
List all the possible outcomes when four coins are tossed Determine the theoretical probability of having exactly two heads and two tails?
HHHH, HHHT, HHTT, HTTT, TTTT. Pr(HHTT) = 6/16 = 0.375
When Two coins are tossed what is the probability of a or b happening?
This question can be rather easily answered, as soon as outcomes 'a' and 'b' are defined.
What is the probability of getting an odd number or a multiple of 3 when an unbiased die is tossed once?
The favourable outcomes are 1, 3, 5 or 6 so the probability is 4/6 = 2/3
How many outcomes are possible if a coin is tossed 15 times?
If a coin is tossed 15 times there are 215 or 32768 possible outcomes.
Whats the probability of getting at most one heads when two fair coins are tossed?
When two fair coins are tossed, you have the following possible outcomes: HH, HT, TH, TT. So, at most implies that you get either i) zero heads or ii) one head. From the possible outcomes we see that 3 times we satisify the outcome. Thus, probability of at most one head is 3/4.
If you toss a penny a nickel and a quarter and a dime how many possible outcomes?
Each coin has two possible outcomes, either Heads or Tails. Then the number of outcomes when all 4 coins are tossed is, 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16.
An experiment is conducted in which two fair coins are tossed and the number of heads is recorded. The binomial random variable, X, is the number of heads?
thas so true
What is the probability of getting a tail if a coin is tossed twice?
75%. There are 3 possible ways of getting at least one tail from 2 tosses from a coin:Tail & Tail orHead & Tail orTail & HeadEach of these individual outcomes has a probability of 25% (e.g. the probability of getting a tail and then another tail is 25%). Adding the possible outcomes together gives you a total of 75%.
