Question

Anita tosses 3 coins. what is the probability that all the coins will land tails up?

Answer 1

Probability that one coin will land tail up is 0,5.
If you toss 3 coins the probability that all the coins will land tails up is:

`0,5^(3)= 0,5 * 0,5 * 0,5 = 0,125.`.

If you have any additional questions please let me know in comments!

Answer 2

A trick to get the total outcomes is multiplying the number of possibilities by how many trials. So in this case you multiply 2 x 2 x 2 because the only possible possibilities are tails or heads. And the probability of getting all tails is 1 so therefore the answer is 1/8
