Question

What is the probability of flipping a coin and getting the head fallen five times in a
row?

Answer 1

1 in 32 chance. 3.125%.

Explanation:

The chance of a coin landing on heads is 1 in 2.

With this, we can find the chance of a coin landing on heads 5 times in a row, or 100 times in a row!

Just do, (1/2)^5, which gives 0.03125. This answer is in decimal form, to get it in percent form just multiply by 100. This gives 3.125%

Now, to figure out that 3.125% is a 1 in 32 chance, just divide 100 by 3.125, and you will get 32. Therefore, there is a 1 in 32 chance of a coin landing on heads 5 times in a row.
