If there are 100 students in your class and everybody flips a coin five times, how many people are likely to get five heads in a row? This is with the assumption that every time you flip a coin, the chance that heads will end up on top is 1 in 2.

Will award brainiest, thank you!

If you flip a coin once, you have a 1/2 chance of getting heads. You will get either a head or tail.

Flipping a coin twice gives you a 1/4 chance of getting 2 heads since you will either get a 2 heads, 2 tails, a tail then head, or a head then tails.

From this we can see its pretty likely the pattern will continue if our chances of continually getting a head keeps halfing. So we can represent it as 1/2^n (half to the power of n) where n is the number of times we flip the coin.

So the odds of flipping a coin 5 times and getting 5 heads are 1/2 ^5 (half to the power of 5). Which gives us 1/32 or just over a 3% chance.
