What is the probability of obtaining five heads in a row when slipping a fair coin?

We want the coin to land on heads on 5 out of 5 flips.

Each time, the coin has a 1/2 chance of landing on heads.

Since we want it to land on heads 5 times in a row, we multiply 1/2 five times to get the probability.

(1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) = 1 / (2*2*2*2*2)

= 1 / 32

There is a 1/32 chance of landing heads five times in a row.

Have an awesome day! :)
