What is the probability of getting 3 heads and 3 tails if a fair coin is tossed 6 times?
only about 75% because very often it is not equal The probability of 3 heads and 3 tails is 0.3125
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 probabilty if a coin is tossed three times?
The probability of the coin coming up heads each time is 1/8; likewise for 3 tails. The probability of getting 2 heads and 1 tail (in any order) or 2 tails and 1 head, is 3/8. There are lots of other events whose probability can be calculated when a coin is tossed 3 times, but the question doesn't specify what event is to have its probability calculated.
How many orders can heads and tails be tossed when a coin is tossed 3 times?
Eight.
Jackie tossed a coin 25 times. Tails turned up 14 times. What was her experimental probability of gettting heads?
(25-14)/25 = 11/25
If a coin is tossed 3 times what is the probability of 3 heads?
There are 8 possible outcomes when a coin is tossed 3 times. Here they are:1. Heads, Heads, Tails.2. Heads, Tails, Heads.3. Tails, Heads, Heads.4. Heads, Heads, Heads.5. Tails, Tails, Heads.6. Tails, Heads, Tails.7. Heads, Tails, Tails.8. Tails, Tails, Tails.There is only one outcome that is heads, heads, heads, so the probability of three heads coming up in three coin tosses is 1 in 8 or 0.125 for that probability.

If a coin is tossed 4 times and heads comes up all 4 times the probability of getting heads on the fifth try is?
0.5, 1/2, 50% The probability for heads versus tails does not change based on the amount of times the coin is tossed. It will always be a 50% chance.

A coin is tossed 4 times. What is the probability of getting tails 4 times in a row?
The probability to get tails once is 1/2 (for a fair coin) The probability to get tails twice = the probability to get it once x the probability to get it a second time The probability to get tails 4 times in a row is (1/2)4=1/16 The probability to get tails n times in a row is (1/2)n=1/2n The same thing is also true for heads (same probability: 1/2 each time)
What is the probability of getting 3 tails when a coin is tossed 4 times?
50%
What is the probability of a coin tossed two times to get heads?
It is 3/4
What is the probability of getting three tails and a head when a coin is tossed four times?
The probability is 1/4
What is the probability that a coin that is tossed 10 times--- what is the probability of it landing on heads 10 times?
