The probability of all heads is (1/2)9 and the probability of all tails is also (1/2)9.
Therefore the probability of both heads and tails is 1 - 2(1/2)9 = 1 - (1/2)8 = 255/256.

asked 02/05/19involving flipping a fair coin. Assume that the coin is flipped 9 times.
The probability of all heads is (1/2)9 and the probability of all tails is also (1/2)9.
Therefore the probability of both heads and tails is 1 - 2(1/2)9 = 1 - (1/2)8 = 255/256.
