The probability of HTTTT is (1/2)5 = 1/32
The correct flips can also be achieved with THTTT, TTHTT, TTTHT, & TTTTH.
Hence, total probability is 5/32.

If nine fair coins are tossed what is the probability of obtaining at least one head and at least one tail using the complement formula?
255/256 (complement formula)
How many possible outcomes for flipping 2 coins?
Assuming the coins are fair, two-sided coins, and landing on their sides is not an option, there are four possible outcomes if you consider coin a having a head and coin b having a tail being a different instance from coin a being a tail and coin be having a head. Here they are; Coin A | Coin B Heads | Tails Heads | Heads Tails....| Heads Tails....| Tails
If you flip a coin twice what is the set of possible outcomes for this?
Let H mean Head and T mean Tail. The outcomes from flipping a coin twice are the same as flipping two coins together. You might get H + H, or H + T, or T + H, or T + T. So there are four possible outcomes. They are each equally likely but if you ask, "What are the chances of throwing H + H" the answer is 1 out of 4 or 25% or 0.25, and the same for throwing T + T. However, if you ask the question, "What is the chance of throwing a H with a T the probability is 2 out of 4 because there are two ways of doing that. So the probability there is 2 out of 4, or 1 out of 2, or 50% or 0.5
If you flip a coin 5 times what is the probability that the results are all heads or all tails?
The probability of getting all heads or all tails in 5 flips of a coin is 1 in 16.The probability of getting a head or a tail on the first flip is 1 in 1. The probability of each of the following coins matching the first coin is 1 in 2. Simply multiply the five probabilities (1 in 1) (1 in 2) (1 in 2) (1 in 2) (1 in 2) and you get 1 in 16.It is true that the probability of getting all heads is 1 in 32, and the probability of getting all tails is also 1 in 32. Since the question asked the probability of both cases (all heads or all tails), the answer is 1 in 16.
What is the Probability of getting a head on coin followed by a number on the die?
The probability is 1/2 since you are certain to get a number on the die.
If you Flip four coins at once what is probability of 2 head and 3 tail?
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/If_you_Flip_four_coins_at_once_what_is_probability_of_2_head_and_3_tail" The probability of flipping four coins and getting 2 heads and 3 tails is ZERO 2 heads and 3 tails requires flipping FIVE coins.
The probability of having the combination of one head and one tail when flipping two coins is?
1/2
What is the probability of flipping three coins and getting one head followed by one tail by one head?
1/8 or 12.5%
What is the probability of rolling a 3 and flipping a head?
probability of rolling a 3 = 1/6 probability of flipping a head = 1/2 therefore, overall = 1/12
When flipping a coin 2 time What is probability that you will get 2 head?
If the coin is fair, the probability is 1/4.
What is the probability of flipping 91 coins and getting a head 91 times in a row?
The probability of flipping 91 coins and getting a head 91 times in a row is 1/291 or (1/2)91 or 4.039E-28. The (1/2)91 is when there is exactly 91 coin tosses or n = 91. As the number of trials increases so does the probability of at least 1 run of length 91. The average number of coin flips to see 91 in a row is 4.951760157141521e+27
If you flip a coin 100 times and heads show 40 times what are the odds for flipping head?
50/50 50/50? This is equal to 1 which would imply the probability of flipping a head is certain. Obviously not correct as the probability of flipping a head in a fair dice is 1/2 or 0.5
What is the probability of obtaining exactly five heads in six flips of a coin given that at least one is a head?
The probability that you will toss five heads in six coin tosses given that at least one is a head is the same as the probability of tossing four heads in five coin tosses1. There are 32 permutations of five coins. Five of them have four heads2. This is a probability of 5 in 32, or 0.15625. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1Simplify the problem. It asked about five heads but said that at least one was a head. That is redundant, and can be ignored. 2This problem was solved by simple inspection. If there are four heads in five coins, this means that there is one tail in five coins. That fact simplifies the calculation to five permutations exactly.
What is the probability of getting one head when flipping a coin three times?
The probability is 3/8.The probability is 3/8.The probability is 3/8.The probability is 3/8.
What is the probability of flipping a coin twice and getting head on the first flip?
The probability is 1/2 because the second outcome has no affect on the first outcome.
What is the probability 700 coins out of 20000 coins will be head if flipped in the air?
50/50
What is the probability of a head in tossing three coins?
7/8
