Question

Is you foot three fair coins what is the probability that you'll get a tail on the first flight ahead on the second flip in another tail on a third flip?

Answer 1

the probability that you'll get a head on the first flip, a tail on the second flip, and another head on the third flip is 0.125

Explanation:

First if all, we know that the coin has two sides- head and tail

P(getting a head of the first flip):

1/2

P(getting a tail on the second flip):

1/2

P(getting a head on the third flip):

1/2

To find the final answer, take:

1/2×1/2×1/2=0.125

As a result, the probability that you'll get a head on the first flip, a tail on the second flip, and another head on the third flip is 0.125

Since 3 fair coins are tossed we can get the sample space for the experiment.

Sample space of the experiment = {HHH, HHT, HTT, HTH, TTH, THH, THT, TTT}

Getting Tail , Head, Tail is a success so all other events other than {THT} is a failure.

Therefore probability of getting {THT}

= 0.125
