A coin is tossed 5 times What is the Probability that the Sixth toss will be a tail If the first 5 tosses were all tails?

there is a 50% chance. That is very obvious
A classic logic fallacy is to assume that a random chance is changed by how often something has already occurred. It sometimes known as the Gambler's Fallacy.

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.
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 the probability of of tossing heads on the first 6 tosses of a fair coin?
The probability of tossing heads on all of the first six tosses of a fair coin is 0.56, or 0.015625. The probability of tossing heads on at least one of the first six tosses of a fair coin is 1 - 0.56, or 0.984375.
What is the probability of getting tails on all 7 tosses if a fair coin is tossed 7 times?
The probability of Tails on the first toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the second toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the third toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the fourth toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the fifth toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the sixth toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the seventh toss is 1/2.The probability of all of them is (0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5) = (0.5)7 = 0.0078125= 0.78125 %
What is the probability of rolling two 2s followed by 1 on three tosses of a fair die?
If you toss the die often enough then the probability of getting the sequence 2-2-1 is 1: a certainty. The probability of getting the result in the first three tosses is 1/216.

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.
What is the probability of of tossing heads on the first 6 tosses of a fair coin?
The probability of tossing heads on all of the first six tosses of a fair coin is 0.56, or 0.015625. The probability of tossing heads on at least one of the first six tosses of a fair coin is 1 - 0.56, or 0.984375.
When tossing a fair coin the probability of getting three heads in a row is?
In a large enough number of tosses, it is a certainty (probability = 1). In only the first three tosses, it is (0.5)3 = 0.125
What is the probability of tossing heads on the first 4 tosses of a fair coin?
1/16
What is the probability of tossing four coins and getting four heads if the first two tosses are heads?
The conditional probability is 1/4.
What is the probability of getting tails on all 7 tosses if a fair coin is tossed 7 times?
The probability of Tails on the first toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the second toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the third toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the fourth toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the fifth toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the sixth toss is 1/2.The probability of Tails on the seventh toss is 1/2.The probability of all of them is (0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5) = (0.5)7 = 0.0078125= 0.78125 %
What is the probability of rolling two 2s followed by 1 on three tosses of a fair die?
If you toss the die often enough then the probability of getting the sequence 2-2-1 is 1: a certainty. The probability of getting the result in the first three tosses is 1/216.
What is the possibility of tossing heads on each of first 2 tosses?
It is certainly possible. The probability is 1/4.
What is probability of throwing 9 heads in a row?
If you toss a coin often enough the probability is 1. The probability of 9 H in the first 9 tosses is (1/2)9 = 1/512
If a die is tossed 5 times what is the probability of getting at least 2 sixes?
At least 2 sixes mean 2,3,4, or 5 sixes. This is the sum of the probability of 2 sixes + probability of 3 sixes etc. It is easier to look at the probability of 0 or 1 six and subtract that the sum of those two from 1. P( one six)=1/6 P(number other than six)=5/6 P( one six in 5 tosses)=(1/6)(5/6)^4=625/7776 P (no six in 5 tosses) the probability of not getting a 6 of the first toss is 5/6 Now if we do not get one on the first toss, we have 5/6 chance of not getting it again on the second, and the third etc. (5/6)^5=3125/7776 If we add these we have 3750/7756 which is the odds of exactly 0 or 1 six. 1-(3750/77756)=2003/3878 .516503 is the probability of at least 2 sixes in 5 tosses.
