getting 10 heads in a sequence of 10 flips of a coin

The chances of successes are:

For 100 coins, over 100 sequences, each with probability 1 in 1024, on average there will be 9.8 successes.

Over 100 sequences, on average there will be 0.1 successes for each of the coins.

Probability

  • 0.000977
  • As a percentage

  • 0.0977%
  • As a rounded-off proportion

  • 1 in 1000
  • As approximate fair betting odds

  • 5100 : 5
  • Representative example

    For successes

  • 100 coins x 100 sequences = 10000 chances for successes
  • Observed successes: 10 = 0.100% (expected average: 9.8 = 0.098%)
