What is the probability of a flipped coin landing on its side?
The probability of a coin landing head-side down is 0.5 The probability of landing head-side up is 0.5 Did you mean to ask the probability of it landing on its edge ?
What is the probability of rolling a 4 on a number cube and flipping tails on a coin?
The probability of rolling any number on a cube can be represented by the formula: X / the number of variables. Since any cube has 6 sides, the probability of rolling any of the numbers 1 through 6 on the cube, can be represented by the formula: X = 1 / 6 = 16.66% The odds or probability of flipping a coin and landing it on either side can be represented by X = the requested result / the number of variables = 1 /2 = 50% Therefore, given the two questions of probability, there is a much greater chance of landing a coin on "tails" rather than rolling a "4".
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.
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.
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
When flipping two coins at the same time What are the odds that both coins will land on the same side?
The odds are 1 in 2.
What is the probability of a flipped coin landing on its side?
The probability of a coin landing head-side down is 0.5 The probability of landing head-side up is 0.5 Did you mean to ask the probability of it landing on its edge ?

Are the outcomes different if you toss 3 coins instead of tossing a coin 3 times?
Assuming that if you had 3 coins and they were all the same, then no, the outcomes would not be different than if you flipped the same coin 3 times. Flipping a coin has a 1/2 chance of landing on 1 face, and 1/2 chance that it will land on the other: -Flipping the same coin 3 times: 1/2 chance of the coin landing on one face -Flipping 3 coins one time each: Still 1/2 chance of each of the 3 coins landing on one face. These chance percentages are fairly vague. Of course there is an absolute minuscule percentage that the coin(s) could land on their side instead of either face or that one side could have a higher chance than the other, but the chances of that happening are so small there is no point complicating this answer and so extreme details like this are ignored.

If a coin is flip 9 times and get all H What is the probability of an H on next flip?
The probability of the coin landing "head" side up is 50/50, meaning it could land "head" side up or "tail" side up. The odds of any single coin flip are always the same, no matter what happened on the previous tosses -- provided the coin is not a "double-head" (or "double-tail") "trick" coin
Is it possible to flip a coin and it landing on its side?
Anything is possible!

What is the probability that flipping two coin will show two tails?
1 in two but they say the side with heads is slightly Heavier.
What is the value of a Liberty quarter with the back eagle upside down?
Upside down is relative to which way you flip the coin. If flipping from top to bottom, the eagle should be upright. If flipping from side to side, the eagle should be upside-down. If the eagle is truly upside down from the way it should be, AND the coin has not been altered, then it could be worth a couple of hundred dollars.
The probability that a coin flip will come up heads?
Assuming: (a) the coin is fair (each side is the same exact weight) (b) the chance of the coin landing in its side is eliminated (c) the coin is not acted on by any forces such as magnetism The chance of the coin displaying heads is 50%, or 1/2.
