Question

What is the probability of flipping a coin six times, and getting three heads in a row, followed by three tails?

A. 1/6
B. 1/24
C. 1/32
D. 1/64

Answer 1

The probability of flipping a coin six times and getting three heads in a row, followed by three tails, is 1/64.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of flipping a coin six times and getting three heads in a row, followed by three tails, we need to determine the total number of possible outcomes. Since each coin flip has two possible outcomes (heads or tails), there are a total of 2^6 = 64 possible outcomes when flipping a coin six times.

Out of these 64 outcomes, there is only one specific outcome that meets the conditions of three heads in a row, followed by three tails. Therefore, the probability of getting this specific outcome is 1 out of 64.

So, the correct answer is D. 1/64.
