Answer:
0.03125 = 3.125% probability that the person flipped 5 heads
Explanation:
For each coin, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it was heads, or it was tails. The result of a coin toss is independent of other coin tosses. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.
Five coins:
This means that n = 5.
Fair coin:
Equally as likely to be heads or tails, so p = 0.5.
What is the probability that the person flipped 5 heads?
This is P(X = 5).


0.03125 = 3.125% probability that the person flipped 5 heads
