Three fair coins are tossed at the same time What is the probability that one of the coins will show heads and the other two will show tails?
2/9
Two coins are tossed what is the probability of getting a head?
is it 50% or 100% dang, i just confused myself. what if you toss 3 coins all at the same time... what's the probability of getting a head then, is it > 100% ? Doh!
If two events are mutually exclusive what is the probability that both occur at the same time?
The probability is 0. Consider the event of tossing a coin . The possible events are occurrence of head and tail. they are mutually exclusive events. Hence the probability of getting both the head and tail in a single trial is 0.
Two coins and two number cubes are tossed at the same time. What is the approximate probability that the two coins show different sides and the two number cubes show the same number?
It is 1/12.
Two events in which eitherone or the outher must take place but they can't both happen at the same time The probability is 1?
This is correct. For example the probability of tossing a coin so that it comes up heads is 1/2 and the probability that it comes up tails is also 1/2. The probability that it will come up either heads or tails is 1.
Is tossing 1 coin 100 times the same as tossing 100 coins 1 time?
Depends on if you are talking about probability. If so then yes. If not then 100 coins is more than 1 coin.
Tossing 4 coins and getting tails each time?
The probability for that is (1/2)4 = 1/16.
What is the probability of tossing seven coins at one time and having 7 of them come up heads?
The probability would be once in 128 attempts. You don't have to toss seven coins simultaneously. the 7 tosses just have to be independent of one another.
writer sample space associated with the experiment of tossing 3 coins at the time and the event of getting heads from the first 2 coins.aslo find the correspondind probability?

Which is a compound event?
A compound event, in probability theory is an event which is made up of two (or more) simpler events. Thus, tossing two coins in a compound event made up of tossing one coin and tossing another coin. Getting soaked in rain consists of the simple events that it rains (where you are) and you are outdoors without an umbrella (at that time).

Is tossing a coin 10 time empirocal or theoretical proability?
Tossing a coin ten times is a [repeated] experiment or trial. It is neither empirical nor theoretical probability.
What is the probability that three coins flipped at the same time will land all 3 heads up?
One in eight, or 12.5%.
If two events are mutually exclusive what is the probability that both occur at the same time?
The probability is 0. Consider the event of tossing a coin . The possible events are occurrence of head and tail. they are mutually exclusive events. Hence the probability of getting both the head and tail in a single trial is 0.
Two coins and two number cubes are tossed at the same time. What is the approximate probability that the two coins show different sides and the two number cubes show the same number?
It is 1/12.
What is the probability of NOT tossing two heads on two fair coins?
The probability of tossing two coins one time and not getting two heads is 3/4 or 75%. The possible out comes of this are: HH, HT, TH, TT. There is only one way to get two heads, out of four possible results. Another, faster way to do this problem would be to multiply the probability of getting one head on one coin (1/2) by the probability of getting a head on another coin (also 1/2). This will result in 1/4. Because you want every result BUT this one, subract this answer from one. You will get the an answer of 3/4. This may not seem like a faster method when writing it out, but with a larger number of coins it would save a lot of time, because you do not have to go through all of the combinations.
