This math skill teaches how to calculate the probability of flipping multiple coins and having them all show the same face (either all heads or all tails). It demonstrates that the probability is calculated by dividing the number of favorable outcomes by the total possible outcomes.
Probability of flipping coins that are all the same
Test your understanding of coin flip probability all same by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
What is the probability of flipping all these coins the same?
🎙️
Probability is always the count of desired outcomes, divided by the count of total outcomes.
🎙️
There are two ways to get what we want, either all heads or all tails.
🎙️
And 8 possible ways to flip 3 coins.
🎙️
So our probability is 2 over 8, or 0.25, or 25%
