Jack tosses a coin thirty times how many times would you expect the coin to land tails side up?

About 15 times - half of 30. This will not necessarily be the exact value; just the long-term average if you do the experiment many, many times.

What fraction when 2 pennies are tossed 1000 times?
Out of the 1,000 tosses, you should expect to see 2 heads 250 times (1/4 of them), 2 tails 250 times (1/4 of them), and one of each 500 times (1/2 of them). Out of the 2,000 coin faces that show, you should expect to see very close to 1,000 heads (1/2 of them) and 1,000 tails (1/2 of them).
Judy tosses a coin 4 times What is the probability of getting at least 2 tails?
50/50
A coin is tossed 5 times find the probability that the 6th toss is a tail given tht the first 5 tosses were all tails?
The chance is 50%-50% that it will be heads or tails; this does not change regardless of the number of previous tosses and their results.
If a person tosses a coin what are the chances of it landing in tails three times?
.5*.5*.5=1/8or.125
What is the probability that a coin will land on tails 75 percent of the time if flip four times?
For 4 coin tosses, there are 16 possible outcomes. Tails on 75% of 4 tosses is 3 times tails, and 1 time heads. This occurs in 4 of those 16 possibilities, so the probability is 4/16 = 1/4 (or 25%). But if the question is 'what is the probability that it's tails at least 75% of the time, then you have to add in the 1 where all 4 are tails, then you have 5/16 (or 31.25%).

If you toss three coins 240 times how many times can you expect the coins to have three tails showing?
If we toss three coins 240 times, how many times can we expect the coins to have three tails showing?
When A fair coin is tossed three times. Find the probability of getting a head on the first toss and tails on the second and third tosses?
It is 1/8.
What is a probability of getting a two tails in first two chances if coin is tossed 10 times simultaneously?
The probability of getting two tails in the first two is 1/4. And it does not matter how many more times the coins are tossed after the first two tosses.
If you had tossed 52 coins up in the air how many coins will land tails up?
The expected value is the number of tosses times the probability of tails, so: E(number of tails) = 52 * 1/2 = 52/2 = 26
How many outcomes are possible of a coin is tossed 3 times?
It depends on the definition of an outcome. If you care about the order of the tosses, <br /> you get 2 possible outcomes per toss. Three tosses give you 2*2*2=8 possible outcomes. If you only care about the final number of heads and tails, there are 4 possible outcomes (3 heads, 2 heads and a tail, a head and two tails, or 3 tails).
If you throw a coin 6 times how many possible outcomes are there?
Whenever you are trying to figure out the answer to an outcome problem, you just multiply how many sides it has by how many times you are tossing the coin.... 2 x 6 = 12 times.===================================Very reasonable. Warm, fuzzy, and intuitively satisfying. But, sadly, wrong.Every toss of a coin has 2 possible outcomes.If you write down the results of 6 tosses like: H T T H T H with an 'H' for each headsand a 'T' for each tails, the number of different patterns you could write down forsix tosses is2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 64 .If you don't care about the sequence, and you just want to know how manydifferent splits of 'heads' vs 'tails' you could get in 6 tosses, then there are sevendifferent possible outcomes:-- no heads, 6 tails-- 1 heads, 5 tails-- 2 heads, 4 tails-- 3 heads, 3 tails-- 4 heads, 2 tails-- 5 heads, 1 tails-- 6 heads, no tails
