The possible outcomes when a coin is thrown

5

times are

2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2

Therefore, the number of possible outcomes:

2^{5}

Find the number of favorable outcomes of getting 4 tails:

5

Probability

= \frac{number of favorable outcomes}{total number of outcomes}

= \frac{5}{2 ^{5}}

2^{5} = 32

= \frac{5}{32}
