Assuming we want two tails exactly, the possible options to get them are: TTH, THT and HTT. They are three choices out of the eight available, which is a probability of 3/8, 0.375 or 37.5%.

What is the probability of obtaining at least one head when a coin is flipped four times?

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


You flip a coin nine times and obtain ttttttttt if you flip the coin one more time what is the probability of getting h?

The probability of a flipped coin landing heads or tails will always be 50% either way, no matter how many times you flip it.


What is the probability of flipping a coin 7 times?

The probability is 1. I have flipped a coin a lot more than 7 times.


If a coin is flipped 7 times what is the probability of landing on all tails?

each time you flip the coin, probability to end on either side is 50% (or 0.5) (we disregard landing on the side). So, to land on the same side 7 times, it is: 0.5^7


How do you find experimetal probability?

Experimental probability is calculated by taking the data produced from a performed experiment and calculating probability from that data. An example would be flipping a coin. The theoretical probability of landing on heads is 50%, .5 or 1/2, as is the theoretical probability of landing on tails. If during an experiment, however, a coin is flipped 100 times and lands on heads 60 times and tails 40 times, the experimental probability for this experiment for landing on heads is 60%, .6 or 6/10. The experimental probability of landing on tails would be 40%, .4, or 6/10.
