See comment for complete question

Required

[tex]P(TTTTT)[/tex]

First, we calculate the number of possible outcomes

A coin has 2 faces; Since the coin is to be tossed 5 times;

[tex]Outcome = 2^5[/tex]

[tex]Outcome = 32[/tex]

There is only one outcome of TTTTT;

So:

[tex]P(TTTTT) = \frac{1}{32}[/tex]
