.
The set of all possible outcome sequences for 11 tossings  has 2%5E11 elements, in all.


Therefore, the probability to have any one particular sequence is  1%2F2%5E11 = 1%2F2048:  they all are equally possible.


In particular, the probability to have the given sequence is the same  1%2F2%5E11 = 1%2F2048.
