It means it is rare. It is possible, but happens only, like, maybe every four years or something.

What is the probability of a coin landing on its side?
Prob. of Landing on one side = 0.5Prob. of Landing on the other = 0.5Therefore, Prob. of Landing on one side or the other = 0.5 +0.5 = 1:)I think you mean 'landing on its edge'. In that case it depends on the coin (some even have rounded edges).Interestingly what face a coin lands on is not exactly 50/50. Each person has an individual flipping-style which leads to a different side being preferred (not explicitly heads vs. tails but in 'landing with the same face upwards as was upwards at the beginning of the flip' vs. 'landing with the other face upwards to the way it started'). On average (with most people) the coin lands the same way up as it started more often than not (you'll have to do hundreds and hundreds of flips before you notice this).If (like me) you want to be really pedantic you would also take into account the very slight possibility that the coin won'tland at all.

If a coin is flipped 7 times what is the probability of landing on all tails?
each time you flip the coin, probability to end on either side is 50% (or 0.5) (we disregard landing on the side). So, to land on the same side 7 times, it is: 0.5^7
What is the probability that a penny will land heads up?
The probability of heads is 0.5 or 1/2. This is wrong, the chances of a penny landing heads up is less than 0.5 because the cast in Lincoln's head weighs more than the tails side of the peeny.
A coin is tossed 3 times. What is the probability of getting 3 tails in a row?
The answer I'm editing says the odds are 1 in 8. This is true only if you actually mean the probability of getting 3 tails in a row, rather than just 3 of either heads or tails in a row. In mentioned case, the first flip doesn't matter which side it lands on, just the proceeding two flips do. So, the odds of flipping a coin three times with the same outcome are 1 in 2^2 or 1 in 4. The odds of flipping three tails in a row are 1 in 2^3 or 1 in 8.

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.

Put something heavy but small enough to fit on the heads side and throw it high up in the air so that it has time for the heads side to face downward and the tails side upward.
