Question

If you flip 3 coins 50 times what is the theoretical probability of getting all 3 coins to land on heads?

Answer 1

1\3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The theoretical probability of getting heads would be
`((1)/(8))^5^0`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

number of coins, x = 3

Number of times, n = 50

Probability of getting all heads = ?

We know:

Probability of getting a head in a coin in a single toss is
`(1)/(2)`

Probability of getting a head in a coin in 3 tosses is
`(1)/(2) X (1)/(2) X(1)/(2)`

= 1/8

If the coin is tossed 50 times, then the theoretical probability of getting heads would be
`((1)/(8))^5^0`
