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 = 1/4
So the probability of landing on heads twice in a row = 1/4 (for a fair coin)

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
The probability of flipping a coin twice and getting two heads is?
The probability of this is 50%. 2/4
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?
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 a coin twice and getting two heads?
The probability is 25%. The probability of flipping a coin once and getting heads is 50%. In your example, you get heads twice -- over the course of 2 flips. So there are two 50% probabilities that you need to combine to get the probability for getting two heads in two flips. So turn 50% into a decimal --> 0.5 Multiply the two 50% probabilities together --> 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25. Therefore, 0.25 or 25% is the probability of flipping a coin twice and getting heads both times.
What is the probability of the coin landing heads up twice and tails up one?
What is the chance of it landing on heads twice in a row?
What is the probability of a coin landing on heads twice when it is flipped 2 times?
25%
What is the probability of a penny landing on heads?
Simple question, difficult answer. It depends on how many times you want the penny to land on heads. The probability of a penny landing on heads once is 1 in 2. For it to land on heads twice is 1 in 4, for three times it is 1 in 8, and so on and so forth.
What is the probability of tossing 4 pennies and landing on heads twice and tails twice?
4C2(1/2)4 = 6/16 = 3/8
What is the probability of flipping a coin twice and it landing on heads exactly one time?
The answer is 1/2 , assuming the coin is fair.
What is the probability of a coin landing heads up twice and tales up once if tossed 3 times?
2:3...
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
What is the probability of 2 coins landing on heads?
well since the coins have two sides,there is a 50% chance of it landing on heads
What is the probability of landing on heads 6 times?
The probability is 6 in 12, or 1 in 2.
What is the probability of landing on an even number when tossing an 8 sided die and tossing a coin and getting heads?
1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 1/2= probability of landing an even number 1/2 = probability of landing a heads
What is the probability of a coin landing on heads?
1 in 2, or 0.5
What it probability?
probability is the likelihood or possibility of something happen.example:the probability of a coin landing on heads a 50/50 chance.
