Question

Brian flips a fair coin 3 times.
What is the probability of getting 3 tails?

Answer 1

the answer is one over eight

the formula says required outcome divided by sample space

the sample space here is it because we have three coins and the Three coins have two faces each so it becomes 2 x 2 * 2 that is 8 and that is the total sample space we are supposed to get the probability of getting 3 tails and for each coin you have 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 and that is 1/8 as your final answer and do probability of getting three tails

Answer 2

If a fair coin is flipped 3 times, the probability of getting exactly 3 tails is 1/8

Explanation:

1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 =1/8
