When flipping two coins, each coin has two possible outcomes: heads (H) or tails (T). The total number of outcomes when flipping two coins is 2 × 2 = 4, which includes HH, HT, TH, and TT. Out of these four outcomes, only one results in both coins landing on tails (TT). Therefore, the probability of both coins landing on tails is 1 out of 4, or 25%.

To find the probability of getting heads on the first two flips and tails on the third flip when flipping three fair coins, we multiply the probabilities of each individual event. The probability of getting heads on a flip is 1/2, so for the first two flips, it is (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4. The probability of getting tails on the third flip is also 1/2. Therefore, the overall probability is (1/4) * (1/2) = 1/8.
The probability of getting all tails when you flip 4 fair coins 1 time is:P(4 tails) = (1/2)4 = 1/16 = 0.0625 = 6.25%
1/2 apex It does not matter what each prior flip's result was. Each flip has a probability of 0.5 heads or tails. Coins do not have "memory".
The probability of the coin flip being heads or tails is 100%.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/If_you_Flip_four_coins_at_once_what_is_probability_of_2_head_and_3_tail" The probability of flipping four coins and getting 2 heads and 3 tails is ZERO 2 heads and 3 tails requires flipping FIVE coins.
The probability of the coin flip being heads or tails is 100%.

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.

The probability of flipping one coin and getting tails is 1/2. In order to find the probability of multiple events occurring, you find the product of all the events. For 3 coins the probability of getting tails 3 times is 1/8 because .5 x .5 x .5 = .125 or 1/8.
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
