Coin Flip Probability and Long-Run Results
Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher
"Coin Flip Probability and Long-Run Results" is written for 7th Grade (Ages 12-13), and it covers Common Core 7.SP.C.6. A 6th grader who is already steady on probability can use it too, and an older student can use it as a short review.
7th grade math worksheet: flip a coin 40 times, tally heads in groups of 5 and compare the share of heads with 0.5. Answer key included. Part of our simple probability collection. Aligned to Common Core standards.
How do I use this worksheet?
Use the first sheets to build the basics, then the coin sheets for hands-on work. Students need one coin for the long-run flip sheet.
What students will practice
- Students will flip a coin 40 times and record the tally of heads in groups of 5.
- Students will find the share of heads as a decimal and its distance from 0.5.
- Students will compare predicted heads with their own results.

FAQ
How do I use this simple probability worksheet?
⌄
Use the first sheets to build the basics, then the coin sheets for hands-on work. Students need one coin for the long-run flip sheet.
What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Flip a coin 40 times, tally heads in groups of 5 and compare the share of heads with 0.5. The directions on the page read: You need one coin. Flip it 40 times in groups of 5. Tally the heads in each group and complete the row. Then answer the questions below the table. An answer key is included.
Can I use this simple probability worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade probability, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
How do you find the probability of a simple event?
⌄
Divide the number of favorable outcomes by the total number of equally likely outcomes. Write the answer in simplest form.
What does the likelihood scale show?
⌄
It matches a probability value to words such as impossible, unlikely, equally likely, likely and certain. The Likelihood Scale for Probabilities worksheet practices this.
What is the complement of an event?
⌄
It is the event not happening. Its probability is 1 minus the probability of the event, such as the chance of not green.
Do these worksheets have answer keys?
⌄
Yes. All 5 worksheets in this group have answer keys.
