  1. 1P = C(10,7) × 0.5^7 × 0.5^3 = 0.117188

Quick answer

The chance of exactly k heads in n fair flips is C(n,k) ÷ 2ⁿ.

P(k) = C(n,k) × p^k × (1−p)^(n−k)

Frequently asked questions

Are 10 heads in a row possible?

Does a run of tails make heads more likely?

No. Each flip is independent; believing otherwise is the gambler's fallacy.
