It is either heads or tails.
The probability is 1/2 because the second outcome has no affect on the first outcome.
An outcome is what actually happens, while the probability of that outcome is how likely that particular thing is to happen. Say I was flipping a coin. The probability of the outcome of heads is 1/2 because there are 2 possible outcomes and heads is only 1 of them. Then when I flip the coin, it lands on tails. The outcome is tails.

An event whose outcome does not depend on another event is considered independent. For example, flipping a coin and rolling a die are independent events; the result of the coin flip (heads or tails) does not affect the result of the die roll (1 through 6). Thus, the outcome of one event, like flipping a coin, can occur regardless of the other event's outcome. This independence allows for a straightforward calculation of probabilities for combined events.
The probability that a single coin flip will come up heads is 0.5.

Each time you flip a coin, the probability of a given outcome is1/2. This is multiplied by itself every time you repeat the flip. three times: 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8 decimal: .125The probability of a fair coin landing heads up is: P(H) = 1/2The probability of a fair coin landing heads up three times is: P(HHH) = (1/2)3 = 1/8= 0.125 = 12.5%One eighth or 12.5%

The correct answer is 1/2. The first two flips do not affect the likelihood that the third flip will be heads (that is, the coin has no "memory" of the previous flips). If you flipped it 100 times and it came up heads each time, the probability of heads on the 101st try would still be 1/2. (Although, if you flipped it 100 times and it came up heads all 100 times - the odds of which are 2^100, or roughly 1 in 1,267,650,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 - you should begin to wonder about whether it's a fair coin!). If you were instead asking "What is the probability of flipping a coin three times and having it land on "heads" all three times, then the answer is 1/8.
There are two sides to the coin, so the probability of getting heads or tails on one flip of the coin is 1/2 or 50%.
If two events are disjoint, they cannot occur at the same time. For example, if you flip a coin, you cannot get heads AND tails. Since A and B are disjoint, P(A and B) = 0 If A and B were independent, then P(A and B) = 0.4*0.5=0.2. For example, the chances you throw a dice and it lands on 1 AND the chances you flip a coin and it land on heads. These events are independent...the outcome of one event does not affect the outcome of the other.

I f you flip the same coin 5 times in a row, chances are 1/32 ( 1/2 each flip multiplied 5 times) Ans: 1 in 32
