When flipping a coin 10 times, the odds of flipping all heads is 1 in 210. Write this probability without using an exponent.
A) 1 in 1,024
B) 2 in 10
C) 1 in 20
D) 1 in 210
To determine the probability of flipping all heads when flipping a coin 10 times, we need to calculate the total number of possible outcomes.
When flipping a coin once, there are 2 possible outcomes: heads or tails.
Since we are flipping the coin 10 times, the total number of possible outcomes is 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 2^10.
Therefore, the probability of flipping all heads is 1 in 2^10.
Since the question asks for the probability without using an exponent, we need to simplify 2^10.
To get this answer, we can simply calculate 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2, which is equal to 1,024.
Hence, the probability of flipping all heads when flipping a coin 10 times is 1 in 1,024.
Therefore, the answer is option A) 1 in 1,024.
