If a coin is flipped 10 times, what is the probability that it will show all heads or all tails? A 1/2 B 1/512 C 1/1022 D 1/1024 E 1/2048

Answered by maham237 @



The probability of multiple events happening is calculated by multiplying the probabilities of each event together. This is the case if each event is independent of the other events.

For a fair coin, the probability of tails is 1/ 2 or 0.5, so the probability of all tails in 10 tosess is (1/2)^10 = 1/1024 = 0.0009765625

Correct answer: D
