Respuesta :

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is common sense.

The probability that no two consecutive flips have the same result is [tex]\frac{1}{16}[/tex].

If a coin is flipped then there are two possible outcomes Head(H) and Tail (T).

So each flip can have 2 possible outcomes. It means 5 flips have [tex]2^5=32[/tex] possible outcomes.

Among these 32 outcomes only 2 outcomes : HTHTH and THTHT have "no two consecutive flips have the same result".

So the probability that no two consecutive flips have the same result is = [tex]\frac{2}{32} =\frac{1}{16}[/tex].
