If the coin is fair, then
The chance of tails on the 1st toss is 50% (1/2).
The chance of tails on the 2nd toss is 50% (1/2).
The chance of tails on the 3rd toss is 50% (1/2).
The chance of tails on the 4th toss is 50% (1/2).
The chance of tails on the 5th toss is 50% (1/2).
The chance of tails on the 6th toss is 50% (1/2).
The probability of getting all of them is (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/64 = 1.5625 % .
The odds are 63 to 1 against.

What do you think are the odds of getting four tails in a row?
Assuming a fair coin, the odds of getting four tails in a row are 1 in 16.
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.
Two coins are tossed what is the probability of getting no head?
lets get some facts odds of head on 1 coin 50% or evens odds of no head 50% or evens the possible results vary from 1 coin to 2 coins. 1 coin has 2 results heads or tails 2 coins have 4 results. heads heads, tails tails, tails heads, heads tails. each outcome has a probability of 25%. for the question we remove the heads and tail probability and we have 2 outcomes with heads and one without. so 2 to 1 chance or 33.3333 recuring chance.
What does odds in favor mean?
Saying that the odds of something occurring are a to b (or a:b) means that we expect the event to occur a times for every b times it does not occur. For instance, the odds of drawing tails on a coin flip are 1 to 1, so if we repeat the experiment a very large number of times, we will have 1 occurrence of "tails" for every occurrence of "heads". The odds of getting a 5 on a dice roll are 1:5, and so on.
What are the odds of getting heads six times in a row with a coin?
you have about a 42% chance for that to happen
