    If two coins are flipped, what is the probability that there will not be two heads?

    If two coins are flipped, what is the probability that there will not be two heads? There's only one way to flip 2 coins and get 2 heads: P(HH) = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 Which means the probability of NOT getting 2 heads is: 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

    A fake coin has heads on both sides, if the coin tossed once, what is the probability of getting a h

    A fake coin has heads on both sides, if the coin tossed once, what is the probability of getting a head? Since you always flip a head, we have: P(Head) = 1 or 100%

    A die and a coin are tossed. What is the probability of getting a 6 and a tail?

    A die and a coin are tossed. What is the probability of getting a 6 and a tail? Roll a 6: P(6) = 1/6 Flip a tail: P(T) = 1/2 Probability of getting a 6 and a tail: Since both events are independent, we have: P(6 and T) = P(6) * P(T) P(6 and T) = 1/6 * 1/2 P(6 and T) = 1/12

    if flip a coin 4 times, what is the probability of getting all 4 tails

    if flip a coin 4 times, what is the probability of getting all 4 tails. P(Tails) = 1/2 Each flip is independent, so we have: P(TTTT) = 1/16

    Farah rolls a fair dice and flips a fair coin. What is the probability of obtaining a 5 and a head?

    Farah rolls a fair dice and flips a fair coin. What is the probability of obtaining a 5 and a head? Give your answer in its simplest form. Probability of a 5 is 1/6 Probability of a head is 1/2 Since each event is independent, we get the total probability by multiplying both together: P(5,H) =...

    If 3 coins are flipped simultaneously, the probability of having three tails is

    If 3 coins are flipped simultaneously, the probability of having three tails is... The probability of flipping a head is 1/2. Since each coin flip is independent, we multiply the probabilities together of the three coin flips: P(HHH) = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 P(HHH) = 1/8

    Four coins are flipped. What is the probability of the coins all landing on heads

    Four coins are flipped. What is the probability of the coins all landing on heads The probability of one head is 1/2. Since all 4 flips are independent, we multiply each flip probability: P(HHHH) = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 P(HHHH) = 1/16

    2 coins are tossed. Find the probability of getting 1 head and 1 tail

    2 coins are tossed. Find the probability of getting 1 head and 1 tail We can either flip HT or TH. Let's review probabilities: HT = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 <-- We multiply since each event is independent TH = 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 <-- We multiply since each event is independent P(1 H, 1 T) = P(HT) + P(TH)...
