The probability of getting exactly seven tails if you flip a coin eight times is:

P(7T1H) = 8∙(1/2)8 =0.03125 ≈ 3.1%

What is the probability of tossing seven coins and getting 6 heads?

The probability of getting only one tails is (1/2)7. With seven permutations of which flip is the tails, this gives a probability of: P(six heads in seven flips) = 7*(1/2)7 = 7/128

What is the probability of getting an a from Alabama?

There are four a's in ALABAMA. The probability of choosing an a from a random draw of those seven letters is 4 in 7, or about 0.5714.If you are talking about getting a grade of A from a school in Alabama, that is entirely up to you and to how well you apply yourself.

If the probability of hitting a target when throwing a dart is five out of seven and if six darts are thrown what is the probability of getting exactly four hits?

Compute the probability of any specific sequence of hits and misses, such as HMHHHM, by multiplying the probabilities of each throw: 5/7 for each hit ("H") and 1 - 5/7 = 2/7 for each miss ("M"). Because there are four hits (and therefore two misses), the multiplication includes four factors of 5/7 and two factors of 2/7; briefly, the product equals 5^4 * 2^2 / 7^6. There are 15 distinct sequences of four hits and two misses. Therefore the probability of getting some sequence of exactly four hits equals 15 times this previous value: 15 * 5^4 * 2^2 / 7^6 = 37500 / 117649 = about 31.87%.

What is the probability of obtaining exactly six heads in seven flips of a coin given that at least one is a head?

The requirement that one coin is a head is superfluous and does not matter. The simplified question is "what is the probability of obtaining exactly six heads in seven flips of a coin?"... There are 128 permutations (27) of seven coins, or seven flips of one coin. Of these, there are seven permutations where there are exactly six heads, i.e. where there is only one tail. The probability, then, of tossing six heads in seven coin tosses is 7 in 128, or 0.0546875.
