What is the probability of obtaining tails or a three?
The answer depends on what the experiment is!
What is the probability that you get three tails given that you get at least two tails if ou flip three coins?
1/4
What is the probability of getting three tails and a head when a coin is tossed four times?
The probability is 1/4
What is the probability of flipping no heads when you flip three identical coins?
The probability of flipping one coin and getting tails is 1/2. In order to find the probability of multiple events occurring, you find the product of all the events. For 3 coins the probability of getting tails 3 times is 1/8 because .5 x .5 x .5 = .125 or 1/8.
What is the probabilitty of flipping a coin three times and getting taills?
Each flip can come up in either one of 2 ways. So the number of different historiesof three flips is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 .One tails can come up in 3 ways in 3 flips: (H H T, H T H, or T H H).Probability of one tails is 3/8 = 37.5% .Two tails can happen in 3 ways in 3 flips: (H T T, T T H, or T H T).Probability of two tails is 3/8 = 37.5% .Three tails can only happen one way in 3 flips: T T T.Probability of three tails = 1/8 = 12.5% .No tails can only happen one way in 3 flips: H H H.Probability of no tails = 1/8 = 12.5% .The probability of any tails (1 or 2 or 3) is 7/8 = 87.5% .The probability of 2 or 3 tails is 4/8 = 50% .The probability of 1 or 3 tails is 4/8 = 50% .The probability of no tails or any tails is 8/8 = 100% .
What is the probability of getting three tails if you flip a coin three times?
Since the probability of getting tails is 50% or 0.5, the probability of three tails would be 0.5*0.5*0.5=0.125 or 12.5 %
What is the probability of flipping three tails when three coins are flipped?
The probability of flipping three tails with three coins is (1 in 2)3 or 1 in 8 or 0.125.

1/4
What is the probability three tails do not come up on a throw of three dimes?
Probability of tails on each toss = 1/2Probability of tails on 3 consecutive tosses = (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/8Probability of NOT 3 consecutive tails = (1) minus (probability of 3 consecutive tails) = 7/8 = 87.5%
What is the probability of one head and two tails?
In three tosses, the probability is 3/8.
What is the probability of getting three tails and a head when a coin is tossed four times?
The probability is 1/4
What is the probability of flipping no heads when you flip three identical coins?
The probability of flipping one coin and getting tails is 1/2. In order to find the probability of multiple events occurring, you find the product of all the events. For 3 coins the probability of getting tails 3 times is 1/8 because .5 x .5 x .5 = .125 or 1/8.
What is the probability of obtaining two tails or more if three coins are flipped?
It is 0.5
What is the probability of getting zero tails?
The probability of getting zero tails is 1/2. The probability of getting zero tails twice in a row is 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4. The probability of getting zero tails three times in a row is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8, etc... .
If a coin is tossed 3 times what is the probability of 3 heads?
There are 8 possible outcomes when a coin is tossed 3 times. Here they are:1. Heads, Heads, Tails.2. Heads, Tails, Heads.3. Tails, Heads, Heads.4. Heads, Heads, Heads.5. Tails, Tails, Heads.6. Tails, Heads, Tails.7. Heads, Tails, Tails.8. Tails, Tails, Tails.There is only one outcome that is heads, heads, heads, so the probability of three heads coming up in three coin tosses is 1 in 8 or 0.125 for that probability.
Why do you not need to use three coins to figure out the probability of how many tails?
The greater the number of coins used, the closer your experimental probability will be to the true value. However, you may never ever get the precise probability - even if you toss a trillion coins!
