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
What are the odds of flipping a coin and it landing on its side?
1/6000
What is the probability of rolling a 4 on a number cube and flipping tails on a coin?
The probability of rolling any number on a cube can be represented by the formula: X / the number of variables. Since any cube has 6 sides, the probability of rolling any of the numbers 1 through 6 on the cube, can be represented by the formula: X = 1 / 6 = 16.66% The odds or probability of flipping a coin and landing it on either side can be represented by X = the requested result / the number of variables = 1 /2 = 50% Therefore, given the two questions of probability, there is a much greater chance of landing a coin on "tails" rather than rolling a "4".
What is the probability of a coin landing on its side?
Prob. of Landing on one side = 0.5Prob. of Landing on the other = 0.5Therefore, 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.
Brad flips a coin 3 times what is probability it will land heads up all 3 times?
assuming it's the coin that can land on "heads" and not Brad, also assuming that the coin is perfectly uniformly dense and has a uniform shape and the thing the coin lands on is perfectly still (probably not Brad's head), and has a constant coefficient of friction for wherever the coin touches it, and a constant air friction coefficient, I would say 3/8. or we can accept the fact that there are two sides to a coin, the probability of one side landing up is 1/2, if rolled 3 times, probablility = 3 * .5 *.5 *.5 just perform an experiment
