How many equally likely outcomes are there when flipping 10 coins?
There are 2^10 = 1024 of them.
What is the probability of three people flipping a coin and two having the same side and the other not?
When flipping a coin, there are 2 possible outcomes. When flipping 3 coins there are 8 possible outcomes (2^3=8). As for the situation described, there is only one way for it to not be true, if all the coins land on the same side. So either all heads or all tails. This leaves 8-2=6 possible outcomes resulting in the above situation. Therefore the probability of the given situation is 6/8 or 3/4=75%
What is the probability of flipping three tails when three coins are flipped?
The probability of flipping three tails with three coins is (1 in 2)3 or 1 in 8 or 0.125.
What is the probability of flipping 3 coins and getting all heads or tails?
The probabilty of you flipping 3 coins and getting all heads or tails is 0.125 or 1/8.
What is the probability of flipping 4 coins and getting 3 tails?
If they are fair coins, the probability is 0.25
How many equally likely outcomes are there when flipping 10 coins?
There are 2^10 = 1024 of them.
How many outcomes are there from flipping 3 coins?
When flipping 3 coins, each coin has 2 possible outcomes: heads (H) or tails (T). Therefore, the total number of outcomes is calculated as (2^3), which equals 8. The possible outcomes are: HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, and TTT. Thus, there are 8 different outcomes from flipping 3 coins.
Which expression would you use to find the number of outcomes for flipping 4 coins?
To find the number of outcomes for flipping 4 coins, you can use the expression (2^n), where (n) is the number of coins. In this case, since (n = 4), the expression becomes (2^4). This simplifies to 16, meaning there are 16 possible outcomes when flipping 4 coins.
How many outcomes for flipping 2 coins 5 times?
16
How many outcomes are possible if each coin is flipped once?
When flipping a coin, there are two possible outcomes: heads (H) or tails (T). If you flip one coin, there are 2 outcomes. If you flip multiple coins, the total number of outcomes is calculated as (2^n), where (n) is the number of coins flipped. For example, flipping 3 coins results in (2^3 = 8) possible outcomes.
If you flip two coins what is the probability that they will both land on tails?
When flipping two coins, each coin has two possible outcomes: heads (H) or tails (T). The total number of outcomes when flipping two coins is 2 × 2 = 4, which includes HH, HT, TH, and TT. Out of these four outcomes, only one results in both coins landing on tails (TT). Therefore, the probability of both coins landing on tails is 1 out of 4, or 25%.
What is the probability of three people flipping a coin and two having the same side and the other not?
When flipping a coin, there are 2 possible outcomes. When flipping 3 coins there are 8 possible outcomes (2^3=8). As for the situation described, there is only one way for it to not be true, if all the coins land on the same side. So either all heads or all tails. This leaves 8-2=6 possible outcomes resulting in the above situation. Therefore the probability of the given situation is 6/8 or 3/4=75%
What is the probabality of flipping three heads when flipping three coins one after another?
The probability of flipping three heads when flipping three coins is 1 in 8, or 0.125. It does not matter if the coins are flipped sequentially or simultaneously, because they are independent events.
How come you do not need to have three actual coins to compute the probabilities for these outcomes?
Because the theory of coin flipping is well understood and so theoretical probabilities can be used.
If you flip a coin twice what is the set of possible outcomes for this?
Let H mean Head and T mean Tail. The outcomes from flipping a coin twice are the same as flipping two coins together. You might get H + H, or H + T, or T + H, or T + T. So there are four possible outcomes. They are each equally likely but if you ask, "What are the chances of throwing H + H" the answer is 1 out of 4 or 25% or 0.25, and the same for throwing T + T. However, if you ask the question, "What is the chance of throwing a H with a T the probability is 2 out of 4 because there are two ways of doing that. So the probability there is 2 out of 4, or 1 out of 2, or 50% or 0.5
What is the probability of flipping 3 coins and getting all heads or tails?
The probabilty of you flipping 3 coins and getting all heads or tails is 0.125 or 1/8.
What is the probability of flipping three tails when three coins are flipped?
The probability of flipping three tails with three coins is (1 in 2)3 or 1 in 8 or 0.125.
