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 that the fourth toss is tails?
1/2. What the previous tosses are has no impact on what a fourth toss of a coin is, so the chance of getting a tails is the same on any throw.
What is the probability of a coin landing on heads twice when it is flipped 3 times?
Your question is slightly vague, so I will pose a more defined question: What is the probability of 3 coin tosses resulting in heads exactly twice? This is a pretty easy question to answer. The three possible (winning) outcomes are: 1. Heads, Heads, Tails. 2. Heads, Tails, Heads. 3. Tails, Heads, Heads. If we look at the possible combination of other (losing) outcomes, we can easily determine the probability: 4. Heads, Heads, Heads. 5. Tails, Tails, Heads. 6. Tails, Heads, Tails. 7. Heads, Tails, Tails. 8. Tails, Tails, Tails. This means that to throw heads twice in 3 flips, we have a 3 in 8 chance. This is because there are 3 winning possibilities out of a total of 8 winning and losing possibilities.
What are the chances of getting tails at least twice if you throw a coin four times?
.5 or 50% probability (if not counting draws)
Is the three second rule in effect during a throw in?
There is a five second rule for a throw in.
How many tries do you get in a javelin throw?

How do you flip a coin so it always lands on tails?
Put something heavy but small enough to fit on the heads side and throw it high up in the air so that it has time for the heads side to face downward and the tails side upward.
Is a half court throw a three pointer?
Yes it is.
When are you allowed to shoot a free throw?
after you get fouled when you are shooting you get two but if you shoot a three pointer you get three shots if you made your original you get one less free throw shot.
What are the odds in favor of getting at least one head in 3 consecutive flips of a coin?
>>> 1:7 (or, if you like probability, 87.5%)I disagree. There are four possible combinations of three tosses (where order does not matter):HHHHHTHTTTTTThree of these combinations will show at least one head - only by throwing three tails will you not throw at least one head.Thus, the probability of throwing at least one head in three flips is 75%.
What do you call a ten pin down in three balls?
Three strikes in a row is a turkey. You can't throw three balls at the same rack of pins because all pinsetters sweep the lane clean after you throw two.
Will Naruto be on Super Smash Bros. Brawl?
No. Probably because he would be unfair. What moves would he have, Shuriken Throw? Shadow Clone? Nine Tails Transformation? Rasengan?
