999,999/2,000,000 for heads, and the same for tails

The above answer implies that there is a probability of 1/1,000,000 that the coin shows neither heads nor tails. It either stands on its rim or another image appears or the disappears into some other dimension or there is some other outcome. Not impossible, perhaps, but the probability of such an event is likely to be less than 1 in a million. So for all intents and purposes, if the coin is fair, Pr(H) = Pr(T) = 0.5

What is the probability of getting 3 heads when flipping a coin?
As a coin has two sides, the odds are always 50-50.
What is the probability of flipping four coin's to get a head?
The probability of NOT getting heads is (1/2)4=1/16 Therefore the probability of getting heads is 1-1/16=15/16
If you alternate between flipping a coin and rolling a die what is the probability of rolling a 2 before flipping a heads?
The probability of rolling a 2 on a die before flipping a heads on a coin is 1 in 12. The probability of rolling a 2 is 1 in 6. The probability of flipping heads is 1 in 2. Since these are sequentially unrelated events, you simply multiply the probabilities together.
What is the probability of flipping a coin 20 times and getting 1 tails and 1 heads?
None, since that would imply that in 18 cases the coin did not show heads or tails!
What is the probability of flipping 3 dimes at once and getting two heads and a tail?
HHHHHTHTHTHHHTTTHTTTHTTTOf the 8 possibilities, 3 have 2 heads and 1 tails. So the probability is 3/8 (assuming a fair coin)
What is the probability of flipping a coin 3 times and getting 3 heads?
The probability of flipping a coin 3 times and getting 3 heads is 1/2
The probability of flipping a coin three times and getting two heads is?
There are 8 permutations of flipping a coin 3 times, or of flipping 3 coins one time. They are, with the permutations of two heads bolded...TTTTTHTHTTHHHTTHTHHHTHHH... thus, the probability of flipping a coin 3 times and getting 2 heads is 3 in 8, or 0.375.
The probability of flipping a coin twice and getting two heads is?
The probability of this is 50%. 2/4
What is the probability of flipping heads on the coin?
The probability of flipping Heads on a coin is 1 - a certainty - if the coin is flipped often enough. On a single toss of a fair coin the probability is 1/2.
What is the probability of getting at least 2 heads when flipping a coin 3 times?
.125
What is the probability of flipping a coin two times and getting two heads?
1/4
What is the probability of flipping a coin twice and getting two heads?
The probability is 25%. The probability of flipping a coin once and getting heads is 50%. In your example, you get heads twice -- over the course of 2 flips. So there are two 50% probabilities that you need to combine to get the probability for getting two heads in two flips. So turn 50% into a decimal --> 0.5 Multiply the two 50% probabilities together --> 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25. Therefore, 0.25 or 25% is the probability of flipping a coin twice and getting heads both times.
