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

The answer is C

Explanation:

Assuming this is a fair coin, the theoretical probability of the coin going on one side, let's say heads, is 50%, or 0.5. So what's the chance the coin lands head 5 times? To do this we do 0.5^5 OR 0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5. Both of these answers equal 0.03125. So C is the Answer. Hope this helps :D
