Question

A fair coin is tossed five times. What is the theoretical probability that the coin lands on the same side every time?

A) 0.1
B) 0.5
C) 0.03125
D) 0.0625

Answer 1

Coin tossed five times so the total number of outcomes = 2×2×2×2×2=32
Hence, required number of ways is 32.
Probability of lands on the same side every time is 1/32 = 0.03125
Option C is correct.
Hint - There are two outcomes for each of 5 events.
