If you toss eight coins, there are 256 (28) different outcomes.
If you toss them enough times, the probability is 1. For just one toss the probability is 1/4.
It is 0.00540 approx.
It is used for lots of things such as finding out the total possible outcomes of tossing coins. You find the line that corresponds with how many coins you toss and add all the numbers in that line to get the number of possible outcomes also you can use it to find combinations and permutations and triangular numbers
you toss 3 coins what is the probability that you get exactly 2 heads given that you get at least one head?
If you toss eight coins, there are 256 (28) different outcomes.
3
There are three possibilities, Heads, Tails and stand on edge
If you toss the coins once only, it is 1/4.
Picking cards without replacing them are NOT independent events, since once you pick a card, you can't pick the same card again.
Independent
If we toss three coins 240 times, how many times can we expect the coins to have three tails showing?
Mutually exclusive events are occurrences where, say, a couple of propositions are possible, but if one occurs, the other cannot. A coin toss might be a good example. A coin lands heads or it lands tails. It cannot land on both in the same toss. A coin toss, therefore, can be said to be a mutually exclusive event.

Assuming order is irrelevant, 2^5, or 2*2*2*2*2 or 32 possible combos.
The probability of getting a head is 1/2 and if you toss it 4 times, the probability of 4 heads is (1/2)^4=1/16 since the tosses are independent events.
If you toss them enough times, the probability is 1. For just one toss the probability is 1/4.
