Given:
Flipping a coin 5 times.
Required:
What is the probability of getting head 5 times
Explanation:
Probability of having a head while tossing a coin is 1/2 . So the probability of having heads
5 times in a row is
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2^5}=\frac{1}{32} \\ and\text{ the probability of not getting head in a row is } \\ \\ 1-\frac{1}{32}=\frac{31}{32} \\ Hence\text{ the odds in favor of the event of getting 5 heads in a row is} \\ \\ 1:32 \\ or\text{ 3.125\%} \end{gathered}[/tex]Required answer :
1:32
3.125%
