Answer:
5/32
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcomes to the number of total outcome.
Given that a coin has a head and a tail, it means that the total number of outcome is 2
Hence the probability of getting a head when the coin is tossed once
P(H) = 1/2,
Probability of getting a tail when the coin is tossed once
P(T) = 1/2
If the coin is tossed 5 times the probability that the head lands once
HTTTT or THTTT or TTHTT or TTTHT or TTTTH
= (1/2)^5 + (1/2)^5 + (1/2)^5 + (1/2)^5 + (1/2)^5
= 5/32
