The second part of the question is not specific enough. Is it 2 on the roll of a die, a spin of a spinner, a card from a deck, a roulette wheel?
The answer depends on what the experiment is!
Probably 3/4
The probability is 5/16.
The correct answer is 31/32 or 0.96875 because .50/2/2/2/2= 3.125%
It is approx 0.0938
The answer depends on what the experiment is!
The probability of obtaining 7 heads in eight flips of a coin is:P(7H) = 8(1/2)8 = 0.03125 = 3.1%
Probably 3/4
1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8 = 12.5%
The probability is 5/16.
The correct answer is 31/32 or 0.96875 because .50/2/2/2/2= 3.125%
7*(1/2)7 = 7/128 = 5.47% approx.
It is approx 0.0938
About a 1 in 16 chance of getting a coin to land on heads 4 times in a row.
The probability of tossing two heads in two coins is 0.25.
The probability that both coins are heads is the probability of one coin landing heads multiplied by the probability of the second coin landing heads: (.5) * (.5) = .25 or (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4
The probability to get heads once is 1/2 as the coin is fair The probability to get heads twice is 1/2x1/2 The probability to get heads three times is 1/2x1/2x1/2 The probability to get tails once is 1/2 The probability to get tails 5 times is (1/2)5 So the probability to get 3 heads when the coin is tossed 8 times is (1/2)3(1/2)5=(1/2)8 = 1/256 If you read carefully you'll understand that 3 heads and 5 tails has the same probability than any other outcome = 1/256 As the coin is fair, each side has the same probability to appear So the probability to get 3 heads and 5 tails is the same as getting for instance 8 heads or 8 tails or 1 tails and 7 heads, and so on
