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 fair nickel and a fair dice are tossed once outcomes match when both coins land on heads or both coins land on tails What is the theoretical probability of a match?

The probability of 2 coins both landing on heads or both landing on tails is 1/2 because there are 4 possible outcomes. Head, head. Head, tails. Tails, tails. Tails, heads. Tails, heads is different from heads, tails for reasons I am unsure of.

What is the probability of a coin landing on either heads or tails?

Since it is a certainty that a coin must land on either heads or tails, the probability must be 1.


When tossing 5 coins simultaneously find the probability that at least 1 head is showing.?

This is easiest to solve by working out the probability that no heads show and subtracting this from 1 to give the probability that at least one head shows: Assuming unbiased coins which won't land and stay on their edge, the probability of head = probability of tail = ½ → probability no heads = probability 5 tails = ½^5 = 1/32 → probability of at least one head = 1 - 1/32 = 31/32 = 0.96875 = 96.875 % = 96 7/8 %


What is the probability a coin will land on tails?

50% probablility, or 1/2, that is, a one in two chance.There is an equal chance that the coin will land either heads or tails.


What is the probability of tossing at least one head with 3 coins?

3 coins can land in 8 different ways. Only one of these ways is all tails. So the probability of rolling at least one heads is 7/8 = 87.5% .


What is the probability that a penny will land heads up?

The probability of heads is 0.5 or 1/2. This is wrong, the chances of a penny landing heads up is less than 0.5 because the cast in Lincoln's head weighs more than the tails side of the peeny.


If you were to flip a coin 4 times what is the probability it will land on heads the same number of times that it lands on tails?

50%


What is the probability of tossing a coin and getting an even number?

Zero. Since coins land on Heads or Tails and not numbers.


What is the probability that a coin will land on tails 75 percent of the time if flip four times?

For 4 coin tosses, there are 16 possible outcomes. Tails on 75% of 4 tosses is 3 times tails, and 1 time heads. This occurs in 4 of those 16 possibilities, so the probability is 4/16 = 1/4 (or 25%). But if the question is 'what is the probability that it's tails at least 75% of the time, then you have to add in the 1 where all 4 are tails, then you have 5/16 (or 31.25%).
