By tossing two coins the possible outcomes are:

  • H & H
  • H & T
  • T & H
  • T & T
Thus the probability of getting exactly 1 head is 2 out 4 or 50%. If the question was what is the probability of getting at least 1 head then the probability is 3 out of 4 or 75%

What is the probability that you toss a head or a tail?

Assuming a two-sided coin, and that you make the the toss, the probability of tossing a head or a tail is 100%. The probability of tossing a head is 50%. The probability of tossing a tail is 50%.


What is the probability of tossing three coins and having all of them show tails?

When we toss a coin getting head or tail have equal probability of 50% - that is, out of the two possible outcomes getting the specified one becomes 1/2 probability. When we toss three coins, the probability of getting all the coins showing tails is given by (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) equal to 1/8 or 12.5 % chance. Alikban


Two coins are tossed what is the probability of getting a head?

is it 50% or 100% dang, i just confused myself. what if you toss 3 coins all at the same time... what's the probability of getting a head then, is it > 100% ? Doh!


Two coins are tossed. What is the probability of tossing at least one head?

There are 2 coins, 1 and 2. Each has two possibilities, H or T. The possibilities are: 1H, 2H 1H, 2T 1T, 2H 1T, 2T Each possibility has an equal chance of happening. The chance of tossing at least one head is 3/4.


What is the theoretical probability of tossing two coins?

Tossing two coins doesn't have a probability, but the events or outcomes of tossing two coins is easy to calculate. Calling the outcomes head (H)or tails (T), the set of outcomes is: HH, HT, TH and TT as follows: 2 heads = (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4 1 head and 1 tail, can be heads on first coin tails on second, or just the opposite, there's two possible events: (1/2)*(1/2) + (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/2 2 tails = same probability as two heads = 1/4

When tossing 5 coins simultaneously can you find the probability that at least 1 head is showing?

Probability not at least 1 head showing is when all 5 coins are tails: (1/2)5=1/32 Therefore probability at least 1 head is showing is 1-1/32=31/32
