Question

What is the probability the first three flips are heads?

A) 1/8
B) 1/4
C) 1/2
D) 3/4

Answer 1

The probability of the first three flips being heads is 1/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of the first three flips all being heads can be found by multiplying the individual probabilities of each flip being a head. Since each flip is independent, the probability of a single flip resulting in a head is 0.5. So, the probability of the first three flips being heads is 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.125, which is equivalent to 1/8.
