The answer is 1 in 2^10 or 1 in 1024 or approximately 0.098%.

While there is a 50% chance of getting a heads or tails in a FAIR coin toss during each toss, there is a very low likelihood of getting 10 in row as follows:

1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1 / 1024 = approximately 0.098%.

A coin is tossed 4 times. What is the probability of getting tails 4 times in a row?

The probability to get tails once is 1/2 (for a fair coin) The probability to get tails twice = the probability to get it once x the probability to get it a second time The probability to get tails 4 times in a row is (1/2)4=1/16 The probability to get tails n times in a row is (1/2)n=1/2n The same thing is also true for heads (same probability: 1/2 each time)
