Question

You toss five fair coins. The probability that all five coins land heads is ?

Answer 1

Very low :)

P(HHHHH)=(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)

P(HHHHH)=(1/2)^5

P(HHHHH)=1/32  (3.125%)

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{32}$ or 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of getting head for a single coin toss = $\frac{number of heads}{number of possible outcomes}$

=$\frac{1}{2}$

Probability of getting head for five simultaneous coin toss = $\frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2}$

= $\frac{1}{32}$

= 0.03 [converted into a decimal]
