What is the probability of getting zero tails?
The probability of getting zero tails is 1/2. The probability of getting zero tails twice in a row is 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4. The probability of getting zero tails three times in a row is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8, etc... .
A coin is tossed 4 times. What is the probability of getting tails 4 times in a row?
The probability to get tails once is 1/2 (for a fair coin) The probability to get tails twice = the probability to get it once x the probability to get it a second time The probability to get tails 4 times in a row is (1/2)4=1/16 The probability to get tails n times in a row is (1/2)n=1/2n The same thing is also true for heads (same probability: 1/2 each time)
What is the probability of getting five tails in a row?
The probability of getting five tails in a row is 1/2^5, or 1 in 32.The probability of getting five heads in a row is 1/2^5, or 1 in 32.Thus, the probability of getting either five heads or five tails in five tosses is 1 in 16.(The caret symbol means "to the power of," as in 2^5 means "2 to the 5th power.")
What is the probability of getting tails 4 times in a row when you flip a coin?
The probability of each coin flip, independently, is 0.5 or 50%. The probability of getting one result (either heads or tails) four times in a row is 0.5 to the fourth power or 0.0625, which equals 6.25%
What is the probability of the coin landing heads up twice and tails up one?
What is the chance of it landing on heads twice in a row?
What is the probability of getting zero tails?
The probability of getting zero tails is 1/2. The probability of getting zero tails twice in a row is 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4. The probability of getting zero tails three times in a row is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8, etc... .

What is the probability of the coin landing heads up twice and tails up one?
What is the chance of it landing on heads twice in a row?
What is the probability of getting 2 heads in a row followed by two tails on 4 flips of a coin?
1/16
If a coin is tossed two times what is the probability of getting tails two times in a row?
25% or 0.25 Probability of one tail is 0.50. Since two tails are independent events, the probability is 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25
What is the probability of getting exactly 8 tails in a row when flipping a coin ten times?
It is 3/1024 = 0.00293, approx.
What is the probability of getting a 5 on a fair number cube and tails on a dime?
1/5 and 1/2.............. 1/10 of getting both in a row
What is the probability of getting two heads in a row followed by three tails in a row?
If you toss a coin often enough, it is a certainty, so that the probability = 1. The probability of that outcome in the first five tosses of a coin is (1/2)5 = 1/32.
What is the probability that a tossed coin will come up tails twice in a row?
Each one is 50% Together it's 25% (.5 x .5 = .25)
What is the probability of tossing tails on a coin four times in a row?
The probability of Tails on the first toss is 0.5 .The probability of Tails on the second toss is 0.5 .The probability of Tails on the third toss is 0.5 .The probability of Tails on the fourth toss is 0.5 .The probability of all four is (0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5) = 0.0625 = 6.25%
