If a coin is flipped twice what is the probability that both will be heads?
The sample space is HH, HT, TH, HH. Since the HH combination can occur once out of four times, the probability that if a coin is flipped twice the probability that both will be heads is 1/4 or 0.25.
What is the probability of getting heads at least once if a fair coin is flipped three times?
7/8
The experimental probability of a coin landing on heads is 712. if the coin landed on tails 30 timefind the number of tosses?
The experimental probability of a coin landing on heads is 7/ 12. if the coin landed on tails 30 timefind the number of tosses?
What is the probability of landing on heads twice?
The probability of landing on heads each time a fair coin is flipped, is 1/2.Assuming that the question was supposed to be:"What is the probability of landing on heads twice in a row?"To calculate compound probabilities like this, we first have to work out the probability of landing on heads each time, and then multiply these two probabilities to get a compound probability.1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4So the probability of landing on heads twice in a row = 1/4 (for a fair coin)
What is the probabality of flipping three heads when flipping three coins one after another?
The probability of flipping three heads when flipping three coins is 1 in 8, or 0.125. It does not matter if the coins are flipped sequentially or simultaneously, because they are independent events.
A coin is biased so that the probability a head comes up when it is flipped is 0.6 What is the expected number of heads that comes up when its flipped 10 times?
Multiply the probability by the number of times the experiment was carried out. 0.6x10=6
If you flipped two coins what is the probability that the first coin is heads?
The probability is always 50/50 even if you flipped 100 or 1000000 coins.
How do you find experimetal probability?
Experimental probability is calculated by taking the data produced from a performed experiment and calculating probability from that data. An example would be flipping a coin. The theoretical probability of landing on heads is 50%, .5 or 1/2, as is the theoretical probability of landing on tails. If during an experiment, however, a coin is flipped 100 times and lands on heads 60 times and tails 40 times, the experimental probability for this experiment for landing on heads is 60%, .6 or 6/10. The experimental probability of landing on tails would be 40%, .4, or 6/10.
What is the chance that that 2 flipped coins both come up heads?
The probability that 2 flipped coins both come up heads is 0.52 or 0.25
What is the probability of heads commming up when a coin is flipped?
Fifty percent (50%)
What is the probability of flipping 3 heads?
The answer depends on how many coins are flipped, and how often.
What is the probability of a coin landing on heads twice when it is flipped 2 times?
25%
If a coin is flipped twice what is the probability that both will be heads?
The sample space is HH, HT, TH, HH. Since the HH combination can occur once out of four times, the probability that if a coin is flipped twice the probability that both will be heads is 1/4 or 0.25.
What is the probability of flipping heads on the coin?
The probability of flipping Heads on a coin is 1 - a certainty - if the coin is flipped often enough. On a single toss of a fair coin the probability is 1/2.
What is the probability of obtaining heads and a two?
The answer depends on what the experiment is!
What is the probability that a coin flipped four consecutive times will always land on heads?
The probability that a coin flipped four consecutive times will always land on heads is 1 in 16. Since the events are sequentially unrelated, take the probability of heads in 1 try, 0.5, and raise that to the power of 4... 1 in 24 = 1 in 16
A coin is flipped eight times What is the probability that the outcome will NOT be eight heads?
Probability of not 8 heads = 1- Prob of 8 heads. Prob of 8 heads = 0.5^8 = 0.003906 Prob of not 8 heads= 1- 0.003906 = 0.99604
