What is the probability that exactly two times head are being tossed?
The answer depends on how many times the coin is tossed. The probability is zero if the coin is tossed only once! Making some assumptions and rewording your question as "If I toss a fair coin twice, what is the probability it comes up heads both times" then the probability of it being heads on any given toss is 0.5, and the probability of it being heads on both tosses is 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25. If you toss it three times and want to know what the probability of it being heads exactly twice is, then the calculation is more complicated, but it comes out to 0.375.
What is the chance of picking 3 nickels in a row from a pot of 50 nickels and 100 pennies?
196/5513, or about .0356=3.56%AssumptionI assume that you are asking what is the probability that the first three coins picked out of the pot are nickels. Obviously the answer would be different if, for example, you are asking what is the probability that if you pick all of the coins out of the pot what is the probability that at some point in picking out coins you will pick three nickels in a row.ExplanationP(three nickels in a row)=P(first coin picked is a nickel)*P(second coin picked is a nickel given that first coin picked is a nickel)*P(third coin picked is a nickel given that first two coins picked are nickels)=(50/150)*(49/149)*(48/148)=196/5513, or about .0356=3.56%
