When tossing a fair coin the probability of getting three heads in a row is?
In a large enough number of tosses, it is a certainty (probability = 1). In only the first three tosses, it is (0.5)3 = 0.125
Find the probability of heads on three consecutive tosses of a coin?
The number of total outcomes on 3 tosses for a coin is 2 3, or 8. Since only 1 outcome is H, H, H, the probability of heads on three consecutive tosses of a coin is 1/8.
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 are the odds that you will get tails only once in three coin tosses?
The probability is 3/8.The probability is 3/8.The probability is 3/8.The probability is 3/8.
What is the probability of getting heads only once if a fair coin is tossed 4 times?
The probability of getting heads only once when a fair coin is tossed 4 times is 4/16 or 0.25. This is because there are 4 favorable outcomes where heads appears exactly once, out of the 16 possible outcomes.
