Question

Three coins are tossed at once. What is the probability of two heads and one tail? 1/8 1/512 3/8

Answer 1

If we're tossing three coins that all have a 50% chance of getting tails or head, all we have to do is...

2 * 2 * 2 = 8

Now we divide it by 3...(The two heads and one tail)

3 * 8 = 0.375

0.375 * 100 = 37.5% or 3/8

Your answer is 3/8, I hope this helps!

Answer 2

3/8

Explanation:

T = tails

H = heads

The possibilities of the coin flip are as follows: TTT, TTH, THH, HHH, HHT, HTT, HTH, THT

Out of these eight possibilities, three involve two heads and one tail (HHT, HTH, and THH).

That means that the probability of landing two heads and one tail is 3/8.

I hope this helps! Have a great day!
