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)

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 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.
