When you toss a coin the probability that it will land heads up is 25 percent?
No, when you toss a coin there is a 50 percent chance it will land heads up.
If you are on a moving train and you toss a coin where does the coin land?
This sounds like a joke question. If you toss a coin in a train, it lands in the train. If you toss it out the window, or otherwise off the train, it lands on whatever is out there. On the other hand, assuming this is not a joke, the coin will land where it would if you tossed it if the train were stationary. In other words, the coin is moving at the same velocity as the train before the coin toss, and since that part of its momentum is preserved through the toss, it will land, relative to the train, in the same place. This assumes, of course, that the train is not changing speed during the coin toss, that the windows are not admitting a wind, and so on.
Why is a coin toss called heads or tails?
One side of a coin usually has a "head" of someone. The other side is the tail.
When you toss a coin what is the probability it will land on heads?
the probability is actually not quite even. It would actually land heads 495 out of 1000 times because the heads side is slightly heavier
If a coin has been tossed three times and it has landed on heads what are the chances that it will be tails on the next toss?
The odds that a tossed coin will land tails side down remain one in two no matter how many times the coin has previously been tossed.
