Question

If a coin is flipped 4 times what is the probability of it landing on heads 3 times and tails 1

Answer 1

(`1/4)^4

Explanation:

Since the probability of landing on a head is theoretically the same as that of landing on tails, and since the four flips are entirely independent of one another, the desired probability is

(1/2)^4 or 1/16
