Two coins are tossed What is the probability of both coins are heads?
The probability that both coins are heads is the probability of one coin landing heads multiplied by the probability of the second coin landing heads: (.5) * (.5) = .25 or (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4
If n coins are tossed simultaneously what is the probability that they are all show heads?
(0.5)n
What is the probability of flipping 4 coins and getting all heads or all tails?
The probability of getting all heads is 1/24 = 1/16 The probability of getting all tails is also 1/24 = 1/16 The probability of all heads or all tails is the sum of the two = 1/8
A coin tossed 5 independent times.what is the probability of getting atleast 4 heads?
Prob(at least 4 heads) = Prob(4 heads) + Prob(5 heads) = 5/32 + 1/32 = 6/32 = 3/16
What is the probability that exactly two times head are being tossed?
The answer depends on how many times the coin is tossed. The probability is zero if the coin is tossed only once! Making some assumptions and rewording your question as "If I toss a fair coin twice, what is the probability it comes up heads both times" then the probability of it being heads on any given toss is 0.5, and the probability of it being heads on both tosses is 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25. If you toss it three times and want to know what the probability of it being heads exactly twice is, then the calculation is more complicated, but it comes out to 0.375.
