SOLUTION: If a coin is flipped 20 times, what is the probability of getting at least 5 coins in a row?
I was using this streak calculator, but I don't know how to do it by hand.

The probability of exactly 5 "coins" in a row is zero since if you flip a coin 20 times, it will come up "coin" every time, and you will get exactly 20 "coins". The probability of at least 5 "coins" in a row is one, or certainty. Read what you write BEFORE you press send.
