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)

What is the probability of getting 6 tails if a coin is tossed 6 times?
1/64
If a coin is tossed 5 times what is the probability of getting tails no more then 2 times?
The probability is 0.5The probability is 0.5The probability is 0.5The probability is 0.5
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.
What is the probability of getting tails twice in a row?
The probability of tossing a coin twice and getting tails both times is 1 in 4, or 25%. If you have already tossed a coin and had it land on tails, the probability that it will land on tails again the next time you toss it is 50%.
If a coin is tossed two times what is the probability of getting tails two times in a row?
25% or 0.25 Probability of one tail is 0.50. Since two tails are independent events, the probability is 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25
What is the probability of getting 3 tails when a coin is tossed 4 times?
50%
What is the probability of getting three tails and a head when a coin is tossed four times?
The probability is 1/4
What is the probability of getting 6 tails if a coin is tossed 6 times?
1/64

If a coin is tossed two times what is the probability of getting tails two times in a row?
25% or 0.25 Probability of one tail is 0.50. Since two tails are independent events, the probability is 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25
What is the probability of getting 3 heads and 3 tails if a fair coin is tossed 6 times?
only about 75% because very often it is not equal The probability of 3 heads and 3 tails is 0.3125
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.
If a coin is tossed 4 times and heads comes up all 4 times the probability of getting heads on the fifth try is?
0.5, 1/2, 50% The probability for heads versus tails does not change based on the amount of times the coin is tossed. It will always be a 50% chance.
What is the probability of a coin tossed 6 times to have 3 heads and 3 tails?
50/50
What is the probabilty if a coin is tossed three times?
The probability of the coin coming up heads each time is 1/8; likewise for 3 tails. The probability of getting 2 heads and 1 tail (in any order) or 2 tails and 1 head, is 3/8. There are lots of other events whose probability can be calculated when a coin is tossed 3 times, but the question doesn't specify what event is to have its probability calculated.
