you have about a 42% chance for that to happen
Answer this Question : Probability of getting 10 heads in a row is(1/2)^10 = 1/1024 = 0.000976 or 0.098 %
i got 1/941192
The probability of each coin flip, independently, is 0.5 or 50%. The probability of getting one result (either heads or tails) four times in a row is 0.5 to the fourth power or 0.0625, which equals 6.25%
Ideally, the probability of getting any specific combination of length n is 0.5n = 1/2n. For n = 3, this is 0.125 = 1/8.
The probability of getting 3 or more heads in a row, one or more times is 520/1024 = 0.508 Of these, the probability of getting exactly 3 heads in a row, exactly once is 244/1024 = 0.238

I f you flip the same coin 5 times in a row, chances are 1/32 ( 1/2 each flip multiplied 5 times) Ans: 1 in 32
i got 1/941192
It is 1/16.
About a 1 in 16 chance of getting a coin to land on heads 4 times in a row.
50%.

"The same as getting heads the first time, a one-in-two chance." No It's Not! "One in two chance" means 50/50 chance. The odds of getting 2 in a row are not 50/50. I don't know what it is because that's how I arrived at this question. But if my friend were to bet me that he could get to heads in a row.... I'd take him up on that bet everytime, saying that he couldn't. He'd win a couple times here and there but in the end would lose money. It's not 50/50.
The probability of 10 heads in a row is (0.5)10 = 0.000977 = 0.0977% .It makes no difference what has come before or what comes after.
Each toss has a 1/2 probability of getting heads. Each toss is an independent event. So three heads in a row (heads AND heads AND heads) would have a probability of:1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = (1/2)^3 = 1/(2^3) = 1/8 = 12.5%
