Question

Lorelei tosses a coin 4 times. What is the probability of tossing four heads? Express as a percent. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary

Answer 1

The probability of getting four heads when tossing a coin 4 times is 6.25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability of tossing four heads when tossing a coin 4 times, we need to determine the number of possible outcomes that result in four heads, and then divide it by the total number of possible outcomes.

When tossing a coin once, there are 2 possible outcomes - either heads or tails.

Therefore, when tossing a coin 4 times, there are a total of 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16 possible outcomes.

The number of outcomes that result in four heads is 1 (HHHH).

So, the probability of tossing four heads is 1/16. To express this as a percent, we multiply by 100:

1/16 x 100 = 6.25%.

Answer 2

the correct answer is actually 6.3% I lost my attempts to get the right answer since it kept giving wrong
