The probability of tossing a coin 9 times and getting at least one tail is:
P(9 times, at least 1 tail) = 1 - P(9 heads) = 1 - (0.50)9 = 0.9980... ≈ 99.8%
.125
7/8
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
I'm assuming you're looking for the probability that you roll either a one or six at least once. So the problem can be rewritten as: 1 - probability of rolling 60 times and never getting ones or sixes = 1 - (2/3)^60
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.
The probability is 0.998
The probability is 5/16.
The probability of tossing a coin 5 times and getting all tails is:P(TTTTT) = (1/2)5 = 0.03125 ≈ 3.13%
It is 0.3125
The probability of getting 3 is virtually 1. It is 1.76 septillionths less than 1.
Since each event is independent, the probability remains at 0.5.
It is 60/100 = 0.6
one out of 5 or 2 out of 10
Because a coin is two-sided, 50/50 is always the probability. Unless your coin lands on the grass (on the lawn), then it will probably land on its edge.
It is 1/8 = 0.125
The empirical probability can only be determined by carrying out the experiment a very large number of times. Otherwise it would be the theoretical probability.
