If you flip a coin 5 times what is the probability it comes up heads on the 3rd flip?

The probability of 'heads' on any flip is 50% .


When you flip two coins why does it appear tails and heads more than heads and heads and tails and tails?

Because you are thinking permutations rather than combinations. There are four permutations of two coins, but there are only three combinations, because it does not matter which coin is heads and which coin is tails. As a result, the combination of heads and tails has a 0.5 probability, while two heads or two tails each have a 0.25 probability.


If you Flip four coins at once what is probability of 2 head and 3 tail?

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/If_you_Flip_four_coins_at_once_what_is_probability_of_2_head_and_3_tail" The probability of flipping four coins and getting 2 heads and 3 tails is ZERO 2 heads and 3 tails requires flipping FIVE coins.


What is the probability of getting all heads or all tails if you flip a coin three times?

The probability of getting all heads if you flip a coin three times is: P(HHH) = 1/2 ∙ 1/2 ∙ 1/2 = 1/8. The probability of getting all tails if you flip a coin three times is: P(TTT) = 1/2 ∙ 1/2 ∙ 1/2 = 1/8. The probability of getting all heads or all tails if you flip a coin three times is: P(HHH or TTT) = P(HHH) + P(TTT) = 2/8 = 1/4.


What is the probability that the first two flips will both be heads and the third flip will be either heads or tails if you flip three fair coins?

I assume you mean what's the chance of at least two heads showing when three fair coins are tossed. There are 8 possible outcomes as each coin can either be head or tails. For 3 heads, all 3 coins must show a head → 1 success For 2 heads, one coin will be a Tail; each coin could be a tail in turn → 3 successes → Pr = (1+3)/8 = 4/8 = 1/2 If you are wanting the probability that the first TWO specific coins are heads and the last, third, coin is either, then: Pr(head) = 1/2 → Pr(1st 2 heads, 3rd anything) = 1/2 × 1/2 × 1 = 1/4

What is the probability that the first two flips will both be heads and the third flip will be tails if you flip three fair coins?

To find the probability of getting heads on the first two flips and tails on the third flip when flipping three fair coins, we multiply the probabilities of each individual event. The probability of getting heads on a flip is 1/2, so for the first two flips, it is (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4. The probability of getting tails on the third flip is also 1/2. Therefore, the overall probability is (1/4) * (1/2) = 1/8.


Flip 3 coins?

The probability you'd get heads is still one half.


If You flip 9 fair coins Amazingly the first 8 flips all come up heads What is the probability that the final flip will be a head too?

1/2 apex It does not matter what each prior flip's result was. Each flip has a probability of 0.5 heads or tails. Coins do not have "memory".
