Probability of H on the first flip = 1/2
Probability of T on the second flip = 1/2
Probability of both = (1/2 x 1/2) = 1/4 = 25%

What is the probability of flipping a coin twice and getting head on the first flip?
The probability is 1/2 because the second outcome has no affect on the first outcome.
If You flip 9 fair coins Amazingly the first 8 flips all come up heads What is the probability that the final flip will be a head too?
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".
If a coin is flip 9 times and get all H What is the probability of an H on next flip?
The probability of the coin landing "head" side up is 50/50, meaning it could land "head" side up or "tail" side up. The odds of any single coin flip are always the same, no matter what happened on the previous tosses -- provided the coin is not a "double-head" (or "double-tail") "trick" coin
What is the probability of flipping a coin a tail on the first and a head on the second or a head on the first and a tail on the second?
Two flips can have four possible results:T - TT - HH - TH - HThe question defines 'success' as either H-T or T-H.Two successes out of four possibilities = probability of 2/4 = 1/2 = 50% .
If you flip a coin and you get a head Is the result of the second flip of the coin dependent or independent?
Independent- there is still a 50/50 chance no matter what the previous result was.

What is the theoretical probability of getting a head and a tail?
if you flip a coin once, the chance it will be heads is 50%
What is the probability that the earth will flip 3 heads in a row?
None the earth has no head! Please correct me if I am wrong...
You flip 3 coins Use a tree diagram to calculate the probability that you get exactly 1 head?
3/8
If you flip a coin to determine the pizza if the coin sHow is heads the pizza is garlic if the coin is tails the pizza is cheese what is the probability that the pizza would be garlic on two consecuti?
The flip of a fair coin is 0.5 heads and tails, so you want the probability of head & head. This probability of garlic, garlic two consecutive tosses is 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25.
How do theoretical probability and experimental probability relate?
Take for example, flipping a coin. Theoretically, if I flip it, there is a 50% chance that I flip a head and a a 50% chance that I flip a tail. That would lead us to believe that out of 100 flips, there should theoretically be 50 heads and 50 tails. But if you actually try this out, this may not be the case. What you actually get, say 46 heads and 54 tails, is the experimental probability. Thus, experimental probability differs from theoretical probability by the actual results. Where theoretical probability cannot change, experimental probability can.

What is the probability of flipping a coin a tail on the first and a head on the second or a head on the first and a tail on the second?
Two flips can have four possible results:T - TT - HH - TH - HThe question defines 'success' as either H-T or T-H.Two successes out of four possibilities = probability of 2/4 = 1/2 = 50% .
What is the probability that the sequence will be head-head-tail when a fair coin is tossed three times?
Probability of the first head = 0.5Probability of the second head = 0.5Probability of the tail on the 3rd toss = 0.5Probability of the correct 3-toss sequence = (0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5) = 1/8 = 0.125 = 12.5%
What is the probability of flipping a coin and getting 1 head and 1 tail in any order?
50% chance: Here are the four possibilities: H.H, H.T, T.H, T.T; where the first letter is the first flip, and the second letter is the next flip (H means heads and T means tails).So out of the 4 possible outcomes, 2 of them result in one heads and one tails. 2/4 = 50%.
You toss a fair coin 5 times and get 5 consecutive heads. What is the probability of tossing a head on the next toss?
If it is a fair coin, the probability is exactly 50%. The coin has no memory of what it did in the last flip. ■
