If 2 coin are tossed 5 times, what is the probability of getting 5 heads and 5 tails?

• 1/11
  there are 11 possibilities like
  0 Heads 10 tails
  1 head 9 tails
  ..
  ..
  5 head 5 tails
  ..
  ..
  10 head 1 tail
  
  out of 11 outcomes, only 1 is favourable.
  so prob = 1/11

• Probability of getting one head when two coins are tossed once is 1/4. Thus to get heads five times then the probability of not getting head in five tosses of two coins are 3/4 x 5 is 15/20 ie 3/4. Hence probability of getting 5 heads in five tosses of two coins is 1/4. Similarly getting 5 tails is 1/4. Thus the probability of getting 5 heads and 5 tails on five tossing up of two coins is 1/4x1/4 is 1/16. Ans: 1/16
