you toss 3 coins what is the probability that you get exactly 2 heads given that you get at least one head?
The probability of tossing two heads in two coins is 0.25.
Coins do not have numbers, there is only the probability of heads or tails.
If they are fair coins, it is 1/16.
The probability that both coins are heads is the probability of one coin landing heads multiplied by the probability of the second coin landing heads: (.5) * (.5) = .25 or (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4
The sample space is 23 or 8; which can be listed out as: HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT. There are 2 of the 8 that have exactly 2 heads; so the probability of exactly two coins landing on heads is 2/8 or 1/4.
