Question

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

Answer 1

`(1)/(64)`

Explanation:

`The\ probability\ of\ tails\ per\ flip\ is\ (1)/(2)`

`so\ the\ probability\ of\ getting\ six`

`tails\ is`

`(1)/(2)*(1)/(2)*(1)/(2)*(1)/(2)*(1)/(2)*(1)/(2)=(1)/(64)`

`The\ probability\ of\ getting\ tails\ every`

`time\ you\ multiply\ them\ is\ the`

`probobility\ of\ getting\ tails\ all\ six`

`times?`

I hope this helps you
