Answer:

1/16

Explanation:

There is a 1/2 chance to flip a heads.

So, in this case, we would multiply 1/2 four times in reference to the coins being flipped a total of 4 times to find its probability.

1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/16

Thus, there is a 1/16 chance that you'd get heads four times in a row.
