With an honest coin, the probability of tossing 10 consecutive tails is

(1/2)10 = (1/1024) = 0.0009766 = 0.09766 percent(rounded)

regardless of what may have happened before.

What is the probability of getting tails twice in a row?

The probability of tossing a coin twice and getting tails both times is 1 in 4, or 25%. If you have already tossed a coin and had it land on tails, the probability that it will land on tails again the next time you toss it is 50%.


A coin is tossed 4 times. What is the probability of getting tails 4 times in a row?

The probability to get tails once is 1/2 (for a fair coin) The probability to get tails twice = the probability to get it once x the probability to get it a second time The probability to get tails 4 times in a row is (1/2)4=1/16 The probability to get tails n times in a row is (1/2)n=1/2n The same thing is also true for heads (same probability: 1/2 each time)


What is the probability of getting zero tails?

The probability of getting zero tails is 1/2. The probability of getting zero tails twice in a row is 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4. The probability of getting zero tails three times in a row is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8, etc... .


What is the probability of getting five tails in a row?

The probability of getting five tails in a row is 1/2^5, or 1 in 32.The probability of getting five heads in a row is 1/2^5, or 1 in 32.Thus, the probability of getting either five heads or five tails in five tosses is 1 in 16.(The caret symbol means "to the power of," as in 2^5 means "2 to the 5th power.")


What is the probability of tossing a fair coin ten times and getting ten heads in a row?
