The result of each event (or flip) is independent of the others. Therefore, the individual probabilities can be multiplied.

P(HTHT) = Probability of (heads-tails-heads-tails):

1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/16

What is the probability of flipping a coin 6 times and having them all land heads?

The probability of flipping a coin and having it land heads in a single flip is 1/2. To find the probability of getting heads in 6 consecutive flips, you multiply the probabilities of each individual flip: (1/2)^6. This results in a probability of 1/64, or approximately 0.0156 (1.56%).

What is the probability of obtaining exactly six heads in seven flips of a coin given that at least one is a head?

The requirement that one coin is a head is superfluous and does not matter. The simplified question is "what is the probability of obtaining exactly six heads in seven flips of a coin?"... There are 128 permutations (27) of seven coins, or seven flips of one coin. Of these, there are seven permutations where there are exactly six heads, i.e. where there is only one tail. The probability, then, of tossing six heads in seven coin tosses is 7 in 128, or 0.0546875.


What is the probability of getting two head and one tail if a coin is tossed 3 times?

the probability of getting one head and one tail on three flips of a coin is 1/9
