Each time you flip a fair coin it has the same equal chance of landing on heads or tails. That is, even if you get (for example) 19 heads in a row, the next flip still has 50% chance of landing on tails (if the coin is fair).

How many possible outcomes are there when flipping a coin 8 times?
256
What is the sample space when flipping a coin?
The sample space when flipping a coin is [heads, tails].
What does it means for two events to be independent?
If two events are independent of one another, then the outcome of one event does not depend on the outcome of the other event. Example is flipping of two coins. The second coin is not dependent on the outcome of the first flip. But if you want to know if the two coins are the same (either both heads or both tails), then that outcome is dependent on the first coin and the second coin.
How many possible outcomes are there when flipping a coin 11 times?
Two possible outcomes for each flip. 2,048 possible histories of 11 flips.
What is the probability of flipping heads on the coin?
The probability of flipping Heads on a coin is 1 - a certainty - if the coin is flipped often enough. On a single toss of a fair coin the probability is 1/2.
What is the set of possible outcomes for flipping a coin once?
Heads - ½ Tails - ½ There are two reasonable outcomes of flipping a coin. You could get heads or tails. Some might argue that the third outcome is that the coin will land on the edge.
What is the outcome of flipping a coin 1 time?
50/50
What is the definition of mutually exhaustive events?
It means that two events cover the spectrum of possible events. For instance, with respect to flipping a coin, the event of getting heads and the event of getting tails are mutually exhaustive. There is not another outcome of events possible when flipping a coin.
What is the relationship between an outcome and the probability of that outcome?
An outcome is what actually happens, while the probability of that outcome is how likely that particular thing is to happen. Say I was flipping a coin. The probability of the outcome of heads is 1/2 because there are 2 possible outcomes and heads is only 1 of them. Then when I flip the coin, it lands on tails. The outcome is tails.
How many possible outcomes of tossing a coin 10 times have at least 2 heads?
There are 210 total possible outcomes from flipping a coin 10 times.There is one possible outcome where there are 0 heads.There are 10 possible outcomes where there is 1 head.So there are 210 - 11 possible outcomes with at least 2 heads.(1013)
What is the probability of flipping a coin twice and getting head on the first flip?
The probability is 1/2 because the second outcome has no affect on the first outcome.
How many possible outcomes are there when flipping a coin 8 times?
256
How many possible outcomes are there when flipping a coin ten times?
11 overall
How many possible outcomes are there when flipping a coin 5 times?
There are 25 = 32 possible outcomes.
What is the sample space when flipping a coin?
The sample space when flipping a coin is [heads, tails].
What does the term event mean in math?
An event is an outcome or set of outcomes of an experiment. For example, if you want a coin to land on heads when you are flipping it, and it DOES land on heads, THAT is the event. If it lands on tails, that outcome is the complement
What does it means for two events to be independent?
If two events are independent of one another, then the outcome of one event does not depend on the outcome of the other event. Example is flipping of two coins. The second coin is not dependent on the outcome of the first flip. But if you want to know if the two coins are the same (either both heads or both tails), then that outcome is dependent on the first coin and the second coin.
