What is the probability of getting heads on all 2 tosses if a fair coin is tossed 5 times?
With 5 coin tosses there are 32 possible outcomes. 10 of these have exactly 2 heads, and 26 of these have 2 or more heads.For exactly two coins are heads: 10/32 = 31.25%For two or more heads: 26/32 = 81.25%
What is the probability that all 3 tosses will result in heads?
The probability that a coin will result in heads in any one toss is 1/2. If you toss the coin three times, the probability that the coin will turn up heads each time is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 or 1/8, which is 12.5%.
A coin is tossed 5 times find the probability that the 6th toss is a tail given tht the first 5 tosses were all tails?
The chance is 50%-50% that it will be heads or tails; this does not change regardless of the number of previous tosses and their results.
What is the probability that a coin lands heads up on three consecutive tosses?
For each toss, the probability that it'll land heads up is 1/2 So 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8, or .125 There is a 12.5% chance that it will land heads-up all 3 times.
What is the probability that at least 1 head appears in 7 tosses of a fair coin?
To find P( at least 1 head in 7 tosses) we can find P( no heads) and subtract that from one. Alternatively, we need to find P ( 1 head) + P ( 2 heads )+...+ P(7 heads) Since P of no heads is P( all tails) this is (1/2)7 =.0078125 ( 1/128 as a fraction) Now 1-(1/128)=127/128 or .9921875
How would you describe the pattern in probability of getting all heads as the number of coin tosses increases?
If the coin is fair, the probability of getting all heads will decrease exponentially towards 0.
What is the probability of of tossing heads on the first 6 tosses of a fair coin?
The probability of tossing heads on all of the first six tosses of a fair coin is 0.56, or 0.015625. The probability of tossing heads on at least one of the first six tosses of a fair coin is 1 - 0.56, or 0.984375.
What is the probability of getting heads on all 2 tosses if a fair coin is tossed 5 times?
With 5 coin tosses there are 32 possible outcomes. 10 of these have exactly 2 heads, and 26 of these have 2 or more heads.For exactly two coins are heads: 10/32 = 31.25%For two or more heads: 26/32 = 81.25%
What is the probability of flipping 4 coins and getting all heads or all tails?
The probability of getting all heads is 1/24 = 1/16 The probability of getting all tails is also 1/24 = 1/16 The probability of all heads or all tails is the sum of the two = 1/8
What is the probability of getting heads on all 3 tosses if a fair coin is tossed 3 times?
1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8 The probability is 1 chance in 8 sequences, or .125
What is the probability that all 3 tosses will result in heads?
The probability that a coin will result in heads in any one toss is 1/2. If you toss the coin three times, the probability that the coin will turn up heads each time is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 or 1/8, which is 12.5%.
A coin is tossed 5 times find the probability that the 6th toss is a tail given tht the first 5 tosses were all tails?
The chance is 50%-50% that it will be heads or tails; this does not change regardless of the number of previous tosses and their results.
What is the probability that a coin lands heads up on three consecutive tosses?
For each toss, the probability that it'll land heads up is 1/2 So 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8, or .125 There is a 12.5% chance that it will land heads-up all 3 times.
What is the probability of flipping 3 coins and getting all heads or tails?
The probabilty of you flipping 3 coins and getting all heads or tails is 0.125 or 1/8.
If you flip a coin 5 times what is the probability that the results are all heads or all tails?
The probability of getting all heads or all tails in 5 flips of a coin is 1 in 16.The probability of getting a head or a tail on the first flip is 1 in 1. The probability of each of the following coins matching the first coin is 1 in 2. Simply multiply the five probabilities (1 in 1) (1 in 2) (1 in 2) (1 in 2) (1 in 2) and you get 1 in 16.It is true that the probability of getting all heads is 1 in 32, and the probability of getting all tails is also 1 in 32. Since the question asked the probability of both cases (all heads or all tails), the answer is 1 in 16.
What is the probability of getting a least one tail when tossing eight fair coins?
The probability of getting at least 1 tails is (1 - probability of getting all heads) The probability of getting all heads (no tails) is ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ = 1/256 = 0.00390625 so the probability of getting at least ONE tails is 1-0.30390625 = 0.99609375 = 255/256
What is the probability of getting all heads or all tails if you flip a coin three times?
The probability of getting all heads if you flip a coin three times is: P(HHH) = 1/2 ∙ 1/2 ∙ 1/2 = 1/8. The probability of getting all tails if you flip a coin three times is: P(TTT) = 1/2 ∙ 1/2 ∙ 1/2 = 1/8. The probability of getting all heads or all tails if you flip a coin three times is: P(HHH or TTT) = P(HHH) + P(TTT) = 2/8 = 1/4.
