Question

When flipping a coin 5 times, what Is the probability of the coin landing on heads each flip? (Round to the nearest whole percent)

Answer 1

Given:

Flipping a coin 5 times.

Required:

What is the probability of getting head 5 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of having a head while tossing a coin is 1/2 . So the probability of having heads

5 times in a row is

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(2^5)=(1)/(32) \\ and\text{ the probability of not getting head in a row is } \\ \\ 1-(1)/(32)=(31)/(32) \\ Hence\text{ the odds in favor of the event of getting 5 heads in a row is} \\ \\ 1:32 \\ or\text{ 3.125\%} \end{gathered}`

Required answer :

1:32

3.125%
