7/8
P(all heads) = (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)=(1/8).
P(at least one tails) = 1-P(all heads) = 7/8.
Another (more time-consuming) way to get the same result:
P(all tails) = (1/2)^3=1/8
P(exactly two tails) = 3*(1/2)^3=3/8
P(exactly one tails) = 3*(1/2)^3=3/8
P(at least one tail) = P(all tails) + P(exactly two tails) + P(exactly one tails) = 7/8
The probability of getting at least 1 tails is (1 - probability of getting all heads) The probability of getting all heads (no tails) is ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ = 1/256 = 0.00390625 so the probability of getting at least ONE tails is 1-0.30390625 = 0.99609375 = 255/256
The probability of obtaining 4 tails when a coin is flipped 4 times is: P(4T) = (1/2)4 = 1/16 = 0.0625 Then, the probability of obtaining at least 1 head when a coin is flipped 4 times is: P(at least 1 head) = 1 - 1/16 = 15/16 = 0.9375
That depends how many times you flip the coin.
The probability of flipping three tails with three coins is (1 in 2)3 or 1 in 8 or 0.125.
There are eight possible outcomes: HHH, HHT, HTT, HTH, TTT, TTH, THH, THT. Of these, 3 contain two tails: HTT, TTH, and THT and the probability of getting two tails is 3/8. If the question were 'getting at least two tails' then TTT would need to be included for a probability of 4/8 or 0.5.
The side heads is slightly heavier giving it a greater likely hood of landing on tails.
The probability of getting at least 1 tails is (1 - probability of getting all heads) The probability of getting all heads (no tails) is ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ x ½ = 1/256 = 0.00390625 so the probability of getting at least ONE tails is 1-0.30390625 = 0.99609375 = 255/256
The probability of obtaining 4 tails when a coin is flipped 4 times is: P(4T) = (1/2)4 = 1/16 = 0.0625 Then, the probability of obtaining at least 1 head when a coin is flipped 4 times is: P(at least 1 head) = 1 - 1/16 = 15/16 = 0.9375
It is 0.5
That depends how many times you flip the coin.
The probability of flipping three tails with three coins is (1 in 2)3 or 1 in 8 or 0.125.
The probability of getting a six on a six sided die and then getting a tails is zero. There is no tails on a die.
It is 1/2.
50/50
The probability of getting all tails is 1/25 = 1/32
There are eight possible outcomes: HHH, HHT, HTT, HTH, TTT, TTH, THH, THT. Of these, 3 contain two tails: HTT, TTH, and THT and the probability of getting two tails is 3/8. If the question were 'getting at least two tails' then TTT would need to be included for a probability of 4/8 or 0.5.
you are looking for the probability of getting one tail, two,......., and six this equivalent to saying 1 - the probability of not getting any tails (or getting 6 heads = (1/2)^6). P(X>=1) = 1 - (1/2)^6=
