The probability of getting five heads out of 10 tosses is the same as the probablity of getting five tales out of ten tosses. One. It will happen. When this happens, you will get zero information. In other words, this is the expected result.

A coin is tossed five times find the probability of getting exactly three heads?
Since a coin has two sides and it was tossed 5 times, there are 32 possible combinations of results. The probability of getting heads three times in 5 tries is 10/32. This is 5/16.
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.
If a coin is tossed 5 times what is the probability of getting 5 heads?
If a fair coin is tossed 5 times, the probability of getting 5 heads is:P(H,H,H,H,H) = (1/2)5 = 1/32 = 0.03125 = 3.125% ≈ 3.1%
If a coin is tossed for 30 times what is the probability of having 10 heads?
10 :)
What is the probability of a coin tossed five times to get four heads?
It is 5/32 = 0.15625
A coin is tossed 60 times It landed on heads 21 times what is the experimental probability of getting heads?
1/2
A coin tossed six times what is the probability of getting two heads?
1/36
A coin is tossed four times What is the probability of getting 4 heads in a row?
It is 1/16.
A coin is tossed five times find the probability of getting exactly three heads?
Since a coin has two sides and it was tossed 5 times, there are 32 possible combinations of results. The probability of getting heads three times in 5 tries is 10/32. This is 5/16.
When a coin is tossed three times what is the probability of getting at most two heads?
The opposite of getting at most two heads is getting three heads. The probability of getting three heads is (1/2)^2, which is 1/8. The probability of getting at most two heads is then 1 - 1/8 which is 7/8.
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.
Tiree tossed a coin 100 times and got 70 heads. how does her probability compare to the mathematical probability?
The mathematical probability of getting heads is 0.5. 70 heads out of 100 tosses represents a probability of 0.7 which is 40% larger.
What is the probability of getting heads only once if a fair coin is tossed 4 times?
There is 24 or 16 outcomes. There is 4 ways to get heads once (HTTT & THTT & TTHT & TTTH). So, the probability of getting heads only once if a fair coin is tossed 4 times is 4/16 or 1/4.
A fair coin is tossed three times find the probability of getting exactly 2 heads?
3 out of 8
If a coin is tossed 5 times what is the probability of getting 5 heads?
If a fair coin is tossed 5 times, the probability of getting 5 heads is:P(H,H,H,H,H) = (1/2)5 = 1/32 = 0.03125 = 3.125% ≈ 3.1%
If you tossed a coin 1000 times what is the probability the 785th toss is heads?
The number of times a coin is tossed does not alter the probability of getting heads, which is 50% in every case, as long as the coin has not been rigged (i.e., a double-headed coin, a weighted coin) to alter the result.
What is the probability of a coin tossed two times to get heads?
It is 3/4
