What is the probability of getting heads more than once if you flip a coin three times?
For 3 coin flips: 87% chance of getting heads at least once 25% chance of getting heads twice 13% chance of getting heads all three times
What is the probablity that the sequence will be heads-heads-heads if you toss a coin 3 times?
the probability of getting heads-heads-heads if you toss a coin three times is 1 out of 9.
What is the probability of getting exactly two heads in three coin tosses?
33%
You flipped a coin two times. What is the probability of getting at least one head?
With two flips of a coin you can get two heads, two tails, a head and a tail, or a tail and a head. There are a total of four different possible outcomes, and three of them have at least one head. That's 3 out of 4, or 3/4ths. It's also 0.75 which is the probability of getting at least one head with two flips of a coin. Note that as we use the term probability here, it is zero (no chance it can happen at all), or one (it must happen), or something in between. A probability appears in the form of a fraction or decimal, and has no units attached to it.
What are the odds in favor of getting at least one head in 3 consecutive flips of a coin?
>>> 1:7 (or, if you like probability, 87.5%)I disagree. There are four possible combinations of three tosses (where order does not matter):HHHHHTHTTTTTThree of these combinations will show at least one head - only by throwing three tails will you not throw at least one head.Thus, the probability of throwing at least one head in three flips is 75%.
What is the probability of obtaining exactly two heads in three flips of a coin given that at least one is a head?
The probability of obtaining exactly two heads in three flips of a coin is 0.5x0.5x0.5 (for the probabilities) x3 (for the number of ways it could happen). This is 0.375. However, we are told that at least one is a head, so the probability that we got 3 tails was impossible. This probability is 0.53 or 0.125. To deduct this we need to divide the probability we have by 1-0.125 0.375/(1-0.125) = approximately 0.4286
What is the probability of obtaining three heads?
Probably 3/4
What is the probability of obtaining exactly four heads in five flips of a coin given that at least three are heads?
We can simplify the question by putting it this way: what is the probability that exactly one out of two coin flips is a head? Our options are HH, HT, TH, TT. Two of these four have exactly one head. So 2/4=.5 is the answer.
What is the probability of exactly three heads in four flips of a coin given at least two are heads?
If you know that two of the four are already heads, then all you need to find isthe probability of exactly one heads in the last two flips.Number of possible outcomes of one flip of one coin = 2Number of possible outcomes in two flips = 4Number of the four outcomes that include a single heads = 2.Probability of a single heads in the last two flips = 2/4 = 50%.
What is the probability of obtaining exactly three heads in four flips of a coin given that at least one is a head?
50-50. each toss is independent of any previous toss. if all tosses are to be heads/tails then each toss you multiply by the number of chances. i,e. 2, starting with 1. three heads in a row is 1x2x2
What is the probability of obtaining exactly three heads in four flips of a coin given that at least two are heads?
Pr(3H given >= 2H) = Pr(3H and >= 2H)/Pr(>=2H) = Pr(3H)/Pr(>=2H) = (1/4)/(11/16) = 4/11.
What are the odds against getting exactly two heads in three successive flips of a coin?
Three in eight are the odds of getting exactly two heads in three coin flips. There are eight ways the three flips can end up, and you can get two heads and a tail, a head and a tail and a head, or a tail and two heads to get exactly two heads.
What is the probability of getting heads more than once if you flip a coin three times?
For 3 coin flips: 87% chance of getting heads at least once 25% chance of getting heads twice 13% chance of getting heads all three times
What is the probability that three coin flips will have at least one head?
Pr(3 flips at least one H) = 1 - Pr(3 flips, NO heads) = 1 - Pr(3 flips, TTT) = 1 - (1/2)3 = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8
What is the probability of obtaining exactly four tails in five flips of a coin if at least three are tails?
We need to determine the separate event. Let A = obtaining four tails in five flips of coin Let B = obtaining at least three tails in five flips of coin Apply Binomial Theorem for this problem, and we have: P(A | B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B) P(A | B) means the probability of "given event B, or if event B occurs, then event A occurs." P(A ∩ B) means the probability in which both event B and event A occur at a same time. P(B) means the probability of event B occurs. Work out each term... P(B) = (5 choose 3)(½)³(½)² + (5 choose 4)(½)4(½) + (5 choose 5)(½)5(½)0 It's obvious that P(A ∩ B) = (5 choose 4)(½)4(½) since A ∩ B represents events A and B occurring at the same time, so there must be four tails occurring in five flips of coin. Hence, you should get: P(A | B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B) = ((5 choose 4)(½)4(½))/((5 choose 3)(½)³(½)² + (5 choose 4)(½)4(½) + (5 choose 5)(½)5(½)0)
What is the probabity of obtaining three heads?
On a fair 50-50 coin, the chance of you getting heads 3 times in a row is .5 * .5 * .5 which is 12.5% Getting exactly 3 heads out of any number of coin flips involves: (Number of Flips!/ [6 * (N-3)!]) * (.5^3)* (.5^(n-3))
Arnold flipped a coin twice and it landed heads up both times If he flips the coin again What is the probability the coin will land heads up?
The probability of a fair coin landing heads up is always 0.5, regardless of previous outcomes. Each coin flip is an independent event, so the outcome of the previous flips does not affect the outcome of the next flip. Therefore, the probability of the coin landing heads up on the next flip is still 0.5.
