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
As a coin has two sides, the odds are always 50-50.
The probability of getting heads on a single coin flip is 0.5. To find the probability of getting heads four times in a row, you multiply the probability of getting heads for each flip: (0.5 \times 0.5 \times 0.5 \times 0.5 = 0.5^4 = 0.0625). Thus, the probability of flipping heads four times in a row is 6.25%.
The probability of NOT getting heads is (1/2)4=1/16 Therefore the probability of getting heads is 1-1/16=15/16
The odds of getting heads on a single coin flip are 1 in 2. To find the probability of getting three heads in a row, you multiply the probability of getting heads on each flip: ( \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{8} ). Thus, the odds of getting three heads in a row when flipping a coin are 1 in 8.
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.
The probability of flipping a coin 3 times and getting 3 heads is 1/2
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 this is 50%. 2/4
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.

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.
As a coin has two sides, the odds are always 50-50.

The probability of NOT getting heads is (1/2)4=1/16 Therefore the probability of getting heads is 1-1/16=15/16
1 in 224, which is 1 in 16777216.
It is 0.25
