when tossed , a certain coin has an equal probability of landing on either side . if the coin is tossed 5 times , what is the probability that it will land on the same side each time ?
"on the first toss , the coin will land on one side or the other . on the second toss , the probability of landing on the same side is 1 / 2 . on the third toss , the probability of landing on the same side is 1 / 2 . on the fourth toss , the probability of landing on the same side is 1 / 2 . on the fifth toss , the probability of landing on the same side is 1 / 2 . p ( same side all five times ) = 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 * 1 / 2 = 1 / 16 . the answer is d ."
add(power(divide(const_1, const_2), 5), power(divide(const_1, const_2), 5))
