Answer:


(1)/(64)

Explanation:


The\ probability\ of\ tails\ per\ flip\ is\ (1)/(2)


so\ the\ probability\ of\ getting\ six


tails\ is


(1)/(2)*(1)/(2)*(1)/(2)*(1)/(2)*(1)/(2)*(1)/(2)=(1)/(64)


The\ probability\ of\ getting\ tails\ every


time\ you\ multiply\ them\ is\ the


probobility\ of\ getting\ tails\ all\ six


times?

I hope this helps you
