The probabiliti tha a coun is heads is 1/2 so the probability that that happen 10 times in row we have to multiply the probabilities so:


\begin{gathered} p=(1)/(2)\cdot(1)/(2)\cdot(1)/(2)\cdot(1)/(2)\cdot(1)/(2)\cdot(1)/(2)\cdot(1)/(2)\cdot(1)/(2)\cdot(1)/(2)\cdot(1)/(2)=(1)/(2^(10)) \\ p=(1)/(1024) \end{gathered}
