A fair coin is flipped five times. What is the probability of getting at least one tail in these five tosses?

Explanation

Let P(at least one tail) be the probability of obtaining at least one tail in five coin tosses. The complement event is getting no tails at all, which means all five tosses result in heads. The probability of all heads is (1/2)^5 = 1/32. Therefore, P(at least one tail) = 1 - 1/32 = 31/32.
