you flip a coin twice. what is the probility you get no heads? thanks. i think it is 1/4.is this right.
2/4
2/4 sooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry but you are wrong i think well can you help me on my questions'
yes, 1/4 is correct.
Apologies for the confusion, but actually, the probability of getting no heads when flipping a coin twice is not 1/4, but rather 1/4 is the probability of getting two heads in a row.
To find the probability of getting no heads when flipping a coin twice, we can break it down into individual events.
When flipping a fair coin, there are two possible outcomes: heads (H) or tails (T). Since we want to find the probability of getting no heads, we are only interested in the outcome of tails.
The probability of getting tails on the first flip is 1/2, and the probability of getting tails on the second flip is also 1/2. To find the overall probability, we multiply the probabilities of the individual events together:
P(tails on 1st coin flip) = 1/2
P(tails on 2nd coin flip) = 1/2
P(no heads) = P(tails on 1st coin flip) * P(tails on 2nd coin flip)
P(no heads) = 1/2 * 1/2
P(no heads) = 1/4
So, the correct answer is indeed a probability of 1/4.
