The probability of a tornado hitting Kansas is 100%. Dozens of tornadoes occur in Kansas every year.
The probability of a coin landing head-side down is 0.5 The probability of landing head-side up is 0.5 Did you mean to ask the probability of it landing on its edge ?
If you look at the link below, the probability of a 28 year old female having a baby with Down syndrome is a little less than 1 in 1000.
There is a limited length of question that can be asked. Your question is missing what probability it is you actually want. Please edit your question to include what you are wanting to know - if necessary abbreviate the details of the question to allow more length for the actual question, eg: 25 skiers are sent down a slope singly. the probability of each skier falling on the way is 0.3. What is the probability that...

As of May 21, 2012 the most recent tornadoes were part of a small outbreak in Kansas on May 19, with another, unrelated tornado touching down on the same day.
It first touched down near Protection, Kansas.
Undoubtedly, yes. Kansas has tornadoes every year.
A funnel cloud is typically visible before a tornado touches down
See the "related links" for a video of the tornado touching down and intensifying.
There've been tornado warnings for the Front Range and eastern CO, but I haven't seen any reports of tornados touching down anywhere.
In the past 70 years, there have been around 76 tornadoes that have touched down in Leavenworth, Kansas. The area is known to experience occasional tornado activity due to its location within Tornado Alley.
In a sense. Some tornadoes are only in intermittent contact with the ground, touching down and lifting multiple times.
When a tornado "touches down," it means that the funnel cloud associated with the tornado has made contact with the ground. This is when the tornado becomes a visible and destructive force, capable of causing significant damage in its path.
Yes, a tornado can cause damage even if it doesn't touch the ground. Strong winds associated with a tornado can pick up debris and throw it at high speeds, leading to damage to structures and objects. Additionally, tornadoes can generate intense updrafts and downdrafts that can impact buildings and trees even without the funnel cloud actually touching down.
Yes. If a tornadic vortex does not make contact with the ground it does not meet the defintion of a tornado, and is simply called a funnel cloud. If the violent circulation (not necessarily the visible funnel) reaches the ground it is considered a tornado.
The new patent-pending Baron Tornado Index (BTI) introduces ground-breaking technology for tornado detection. With the BTI, each Baron SCIT (Storm Cell Identification Track) features a ranking on a 1-10 scale, rating the likelihood of a tornado within that storm. The color of affected shear markers changes from yellow to orange, then red, as the probability grows higher. Built on patent-pending and proprietary algorithms integrating radar data with the highest-resolution mesoscale models available, the Baron Tornado Index provides an easy, one-glance diagnosis of a storm's tornadic potential. the bearing tornado indicator is the chance of a tornado forming and/or touching down
