What is the probability of tossing a coin 5 times and getting at least one tail and one head?
This is one of those cases where it is probably easier to think what is the probability of not doing it, then subtracting that from 1 to get the probability of doing it. To not get at least one head and one tail, you would have to get all heads or all tails. To get all heads, the probability is (1/2)5. To get all tails is the same probability; so double it to get the probability of either of those. 2(1/2)5=1/16. Subtract the 1/16 from 1 to get 15/16. Answer: 15/16

What is the probability of tossing a coin 9 times and getting at least one tail?
The probability of tossing a coin 9 times and getting at least one tail is: P(9 times, at least 1 tail) = 1 - P(9 heads) = 1 - (0.50)9 = 0.9980... ≈ 99.8%

What is the experimental probability of getting tails on a coin toss after tossing it 100 times and getting tails 60 times?
It is 60/100 = 0.6
What is the probability of tossing a coin 5 times and getting two tails?
one out of 5 or 2 out of 10
What is the probability of getting at least 3 tails when tossing a coin six times?
Because a coin is two-sided, 50/50 is always the probability. Unless your coin lands on the grass (on the lawn), then it will probably land on its edge.
What is the probability of you getting three heads straight for tossing a fair coin three times?
It is 1/8 = 0.125
What is the empirical probability of tossing a coin 5 times and obtaining at least 3 consecutive heads?
The empirical probability can only be determined by carrying out the experiment a very large number of times. Otherwise it would be the theoretical probability.
