If a certain coin is flipped, the probability that the coin [#permalink] New post 15 Nov 2008, 11:15
If a certain coin is flipped, the probability that the coin will land heads is 1/2. If the coin is
flipped 5 times, what is the probability that it will land heads up on the first 3 flips and not on the
last 2 flips?

I will write the answers later.

Yeah I got 1/32 too

HHHTT (or) HHH!H!H

H is 1/2 and !H is also 1/2

so (1/2)^5 = 1/32
