What is the probability of a coin tossed five times to get three heads?
Each coin toss is a Bernoulli trial with a probability of success of .5. The probability of tossing heads exactly 3 times out of five is3 ~ Bin(5, 1/2), which equals(5!/(3!(5-3)!))(0.5^3)(1-0.5)^(5-3), which is 0.3125.
You are tossing a coin and throwing a die What is the probability of tossing head or tail and throwing a number greater than 4?
Firstly, the probability when tossing a coin and getting a head or tail is 1/2, then rolling a die, there are 6 sides so the chance of rolling any number is 1/6, there are 2 chances of rolling greater than 4 ie 5 and 6, so the probability of rolling a 5 or 6 in 1/3, as these are independent events you multiply the probability getting a heads of tails, (1/2) by the probability of rolling a five or six, (1/3) which gives you 1/6 or 0.1666 recurring.
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 a coin tossed five times to get four heads?
It is 5/32 = 0.15625
