Prob. of Landing on one side = 0.5
Prob. of Landing on the other = 0.5

Therefore, Prob. of Landing on one side or the other = 0.5 +0.5 = 1

I think you mean 'landing on its edge'. In that case it depends on the coin (some even have rounded edges).


Interestingly what face a coin lands on is not exactly 50/50. Each person has an individual flipping-style which leads to a different side being preferred (not explicitly heads vs. tails but in 'landing with the same face upwards as was upwards at the beginning of the flip' vs. 'landing with the other face upwards to the way it started'). On average (with most people) the coin lands the same way up as it started more often than not (you'll have to do hundreds and hundreds of flips before you notice this).




If (like me) you want to be really pedantic you would also take into account the very slight possibility that the coin won'tland at all.

If a coin is flipped 7 times what is the probability of landing on all tails?

each time you flip the coin, probability to end on either side is 50% (or 0.5) (we disregard landing on the side). So, to land on the same side 7 times, it is: 0.5^7


Which probability that a tossed coin will land head up?

The probability of a tossed coin landing heads up is 0.5, or 50%. This is because there are two equally likely outcomes when tossing a fair coin: heads or tails. Therefore, the likelihood of the coin landing on either side is the same.

What is the theoretical probability of throwing a coin and it landing on heads?

Theoretical probability is the number of ways something can occur divided by the total number of outcomes. So, the theoretical probability of throwing a coin and it landing on heads is 1/2 or 0.5 or 50%.


Two coins are tossed What is the probability of both coins are heads?

The probability that both coins are heads is the probability of one coin landing heads multiplied by the probability of the second coin landing heads: (.5) * (.5) = .25 or (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4
