Question

If a fair coin is tossed 8 times, what is the probability, to the nearest thousandth, of

getting exactly 8 heads?

Answer 1

0.004

Explanation:

the probability of landing on heads for each time does not depend on what you landed on the first time, therefore the equation is just 0.5^8, which is equal to 0.0039...

Answer 2

.004

Step-by-step explanation

8 tosses results in 2^8 = 256 possible combinations

only ONE is all heads

1/256 = ~.004
