What is the probability of flipping a head when you roll a coin 3 times?
If it is a fair coin, the probability of getting at least one Head from 3 flips is 7/8If it is a fair coin, the probability of getting at least one Head from 3 flips is 7/8If it is a fair coin, the probability of getting at least one Head from 3 flips is 7/8If it is a fair coin, the probability of getting at least one Head from 3 flips is 7/8
What is the probability of obtaining exactly 4 tails from the 9 flips of the coin?
It is approx 0.2461
What is the probability of obtaining exactly seven heads in eight flips of a coin given that at least one is a head?
The probability of obtaining 7 heads in eight flips of a coin is:P(7H) = 8(1/2)8 = 0.03125 = 3.1%
What is the probability of a coin landing heads up on two consecutive flips?
In an infinite series of flips it is 1 = a certainty.In only two flips it is 1/4.In an infinite series of flips it is 1 = a certainty.In only two flips it is 1/4.In an infinite series of flips it is 1 = a certainty.In only two flips it is 1/4.In an infinite series of flips it is 1 = a certainty.In only two flips it is 1/4.
What is the probability of obtaining exactly six heads in seven flips of a coin given that at least one is a head?
The requirement that one coin is a head is superfluous and does not matter. The simplified question is "what is the probability of obtaining exactly six heads in seven flips of a coin?"... There are 128 permutations (27) of seven coins, or seven flips of one coin. Of these, there are seven permutations where there are exactly six heads, i.e. where there is only one tail. The probability, then, of tossing six heads in seven coin tosses is 7 in 128, or 0.0546875.
