If you flip a penny 10000 times will it land half the time on tails and half the time on heads?

Assuming the penny is unflawed, yes it should. The more times you flip it, the closer the split should be to 50/50.

How many outcomes are there when tossing a coin three times?

If a coin is tossed 3 times what is the probability of 3 heads?
There are 8 possible outcomes when a coin is tossed 3 times. Here they are:1. Heads, Heads, Tails.2. Heads, Tails, Heads.3. Tails, Heads, Heads.4. Heads, Heads, Heads.5. Tails, Tails, Heads.6. Tails, Heads, Tails.7. Heads, Tails, Tails.8. Tails, Tails, Tails.There is only one outcome that is heads, heads, heads, so the probability of three heads coming up in three coin tosses is 1 in 8 or 0.125 for that probability.
What is the probability of a coin landing on heads twice when it is flipped 3 times?
Your question is slightly vague, so I will pose a more defined question: What is the probability of 3 coin tosses resulting in heads exactly twice? This is a pretty easy question to answer. The three possible (winning) outcomes are: 1. Heads, Heads, Tails. 2. Heads, Tails, Heads. 3. Tails, Heads, Heads. If we look at the possible combination of other (losing) outcomes, we can easily determine the probability: 4. Heads, Heads, Heads. 5. Tails, Tails, Heads. 6. Tails, Heads, Tails. 7. Heads, Tails, Tails. 8. Tails, Tails, Tails. This means that to throw heads twice in 3 flips, we have a 3 in 8 chance. This is because there are 3 winning possibilities out of a total of 8 winning and losing possibilities.
What is the theoretical probability of flipping a coin 60 times?
Theoretical is 50% Heads, 50% tails: 30-Heads, 30-Tails (theoretical)
What is the probability of tossing heads then heads and then tails when tossing a coin 3 times?
3 out of 6
If you toss a penny 10000 times how many times will it land on heads?
Most likely 5,000 times.

When flipping a penny will it land on each side in equal number of times?
no... flip it 100 times and my results were 46 tails, 45 heads.

Is heads good luck on a penny?
No. If you flip a penny (or any other standard coin) a lot of times, on average you'll get heads half the time and tails half the time so neither side is luckier than the other.
How many possible outcomes of tossing a coin 3 times have exactly 1 head?
The outcomes are: heads, tails, tails or tails, heads, tails or tails, tails, heads. You can see that there are 3 possible outcomes with exactly 1 head.
Two coins are going to be tossed 780 times Predict the number of times 2 heads will be tossed?
Half the time they will be the same, half the time they will be different. Half of the time that they're the same they will be heads, half the time they are the same they will be tails. It's your homework, YOU figure it out. The way I figure it. There are four options: 1) heads / heads 2) heads / tails 3) tails / heads 4) tails / tails By process of chance, one out of four times both coins will be heads/heads. Therefore 780/4 = 195 times.

If you flip a coin 4 times which is more likely-getting 2 heads and 2 tails or getting 3 heads and one tail?
2 heads and 2 tails
What is the probability of tossing heads then heads and then tails when tossing a coin 3 times?
3 out of 6
If you toss a coin 48 times how many times is it likely to land tails up?
There are two answers to this question. If it can only land on heads or tails up, then there is a 50% chance ( or half a chance) it will land heads up, but that's not necessarily true. But, if it can land on heads, tails, or sides, then there is a 16% chance it will land tails up.
