What is the probability of flipping exactly 8 tails out of 10 flips of a fair coin?You need to use binomial theorem to solve this problem. (108)=(102)=10×92×1=45. P(X=8)=45210=451024=0.0439. Save this answer.
How many different outcomes are possible for 13 tosses of a coin?1 Expert Answer
Flipping a coin is an example of what is called a Binomial distribution. When flipping a coin 13 times, the number of all possibilities is 2^13 (2 possible outcomes for each flip).
What is the binomial probability of getting 8 or more heads out of 10 tosses if the coin is fair?But, the number of heads in 10 tosses of a coin assuming that the coin is fair has a binomial distribution with n=10 and p=0.5. The p-value is P[8 heads] + P[9 heads] + P[10 heads]. From the binomial probability distribution, P[8 heads]=0.044, P[9 heads]=0.01, and P[10 heads]=0.001.
What is the probability of flipping a coin and getting tails?Suppose you have a fair coin: this means it has a 50% chance of landing heads up and a 50% chance of landing tails up.
