Question

If a fair coin is tossed 6 times, what is the probability, to the nearest thousandth, of getting exactly 6 tails?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{64}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$The\ probability\ of\ tails\ per\ flip\ is\ \frac{1}{2}$

$so\ the\ probability\ of\ getting\ six$

$tails\ is$

$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{64}$

$The\ probability\ of\ getting\ tails\ every$

$time\ you\ multiply\ them\ is\ the$

$probobility\ of\ getting\ tails\ all\ six$

$times?$
