This can be calculated easily by multiplying the chances of getting one head in one toss for a fair coin (half) by itself(half) to give a quarter (1/4 or 1 in 4). If you wanted the chances of at least one head in 2 tosses, then the chances would be for anyhting exept 2 tails in a row, which is 1 - 0.25(quarter), which is 0.75 (3/4 or 3 quarters or 3 in 4)

It is 3/8.
What is the probability of getting heads on three successive tosses of a coin?
0.53 = 0.125.
What is the probability of of tossing heads on the first 6 tosses of a fair coin?
The probability of tossing heads on all of the first six tosses of a fair coin is 0.56, or 0.015625. The probability of tossing heads on at least one of the first six tosses of a fair coin is 1 - 0.56, or 0.984375.
How many times would a coin have to show heads in 50 tosses to show an experimental probability of 20 percent more than the theoretical probability of getting heads?
Theoretical probability = 0.5 Experimental probability = 20% more = 0.6 In 50 tosses, that would imply 30 heads.
If a fair coin is tossed ten times what is the probability of getting five heads?
The probability of getting five heads out of 10 tosses is the same as the probablity of getting five tales out of ten tosses. One. It will happen. When this happens, you will get zero information. In other words, this is the expected result.
What is the probability of getting 3 heads from 4 coin tosses?
The probability is 1 out of 5
What is the probability of getting exactly two heads in three coin tosses?
33%
What is the probability of getting 2 heads in 3 coin tosses?
It is 3/8.
What is the probability of getting heads on three successive tosses of a coin?
0.53 = 0.125.
What is the probability of getting two heads in unbiased coin?
In two tosses: 1/4.
What is the probability of getting atleast 4 heads in 6 tosses of fair coin is?
It is 0.3438
How do you find the probability on a biased coin of getting 3 heads out of 3 coin tosses when the probability of getting a head is 60 percent?
0.63 = 0.216
How would you describe the pattern in probability of getting all heads as the number of coin tosses increases?
If the coin is fair, the probability of getting all heads will decrease exponentially towards 0.
What is the probability of of tossing heads on the first 6 tosses of a fair coin?
The probability of tossing heads on all of the first six tosses of a fair coin is 0.56, or 0.015625. The probability of tossing heads on at least one of the first six tosses of a fair coin is 1 - 0.56, or 0.984375.
What is the probabiltiy that a coin will land on heads in six tosses?
The probability that a coin will land on heads - at least once - in six tosses is 0.9844
What is the probability of getting three or fewer heads on eight tosses of a coin?
It is 93/256 = 0.363 approx.
How many times would a coin have to show heads in 50 tosses to show an experimental probability of 20 percent more than the theoretical probability of getting heads?
Theoretical probability = 0.5 Experimental probability = 20% more = 0.6 In 50 tosses, that would imply 30 heads.
