Question

Jason tossed a fair coin 3 times. What is the probability of getting a head and two tails in any order 1.3/8 2.4/8 3.5/8 4.6/8 pls help its for a test

Answer 1

1. 3/8

Explanation:

Total tossed times = 3

Total Possibilities = 8

Possibilities = (Head, Head, Head), (Tails,Tail,Tails), (Head,Head,Tails), (Head,Tail,Head), (Tails,Head,Head), (Head,Tail,Tail), (Tail,Tail,Head), (Tail,Head,Tail)

Number of options with a head and two tails = 3

So, Probability = Number of correct options ÷ Number of total possibilities

= 3 ÷ 8 or 3/8
