1 in 1024.

The 1/1024 is when there is exactly 10 coin tosses or n = 10.

As the number of trials increases so does the probability of at least 1 run of length 10.

The average number of coin flips to see 10 in a row is 2046

Some other probabilities for different values of n (number of coin flips)

Prob/ Trials / 1 in

0.005859375 / 20 / 170.66

0.020389972229054 / 50 / 49.04

0.044137228640422 / 100 / 22.6

0.089918686340676 / 200 / 11.1

0.214521779552276 / 500 / 4.66
