Probability of getting a head or tail is not equal
The probability is 50-50.
1/2. There is an equal chance of the coin falling head up or tail up.
The probability of getting a head or a tail is, for all practical purposes, equal to 1. The only other possibility is that the coin stands on its edge - technically possible but so very unlikely that it can safely be ignored.
If you mean 1: head 2:tail 3:head the probability is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8. If you mean only that you want the heads and tails to alternate, that is, you mean the above or tail, head , tail, the probability is 1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4.
if you flip a coin once, the chance it will be heads is 50%
The probability that a flipped coin has a probability of 0.5 is theoretical in that it assumes the existence of a perfect coin. The same can be said of the probabilities of the spots appearing on a single tossed die which requires the existence of a perfect die. Here's an example. Consider tossing a coin twice to see what comes up. It could be tail, head, or head tail, or tail, tail or head, head. The theoretical probability of two heads is one in four. In general, theoretical probability is the ratio of the number of times a possible outcome can occur in a given event to the number of times that event occurs.
Probability of getting a head or tail is not equal
the probability of getting one head and one tail on three flips of a coin is 1/9
The probability is 50-50.
Assuming a two-sided coin, and that you make the the toss, the probability of tossing a head or a tail is 100%. The probability of tossing a head is 50%. The probability of tossing a tail is 50%.
1/2. There is an equal chance of the coin falling head up or tail up.
The probability of getting a head or a tail is, for all practical purposes, equal to 1. The only other possibility is that the coin stands on its edge - technically possible but so very unlikely that it can safely be ignored.
If you mean 1: head 2:tail 3:head the probability is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8. If you mean only that you want the heads and tails to alternate, that is, you mean the above or tail, head , tail, the probability is 1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4.
The probability is still 50%
1/8 or 12.5%
The probability is 0. Consider the event of tossing a coin . The possible events are occurrence of head and tail. they are mutually exclusive events. Hence the probability of getting both the head and tail in a single trial is 0.
