Probably "high tension lead" (UK English) which translates to "high voltage wire" in American English which as far as automotive use goes usually refers to a "secondary ignition wire" also commonly known as a "spark plug wire".
"high tension lead" or "high voltage wire" could also refer to a high voltage wire (usually orange in color) used in a gas/electric hybrid vehicle. These wires carry much lower voltages than ignition wires, but at much higher current so they're much better suited for being involved in an accidental death of a service worker.

0.666 ^^^^ his answer mine 3 in 8 i believe. which is 0.375 you can get h,h,h h,t,h h,t,t h,h,t t,h,h t,t,h t,h,t t,t,t the ones you are looking for are h,h,t t,h,h h,t,h
There are 8 permutations of three coins ... T T T T T H T H T T H H H T T H T H H H T H H H ... counting heads and sorting by count, you get ... 0 - T T T 1 - T T H 1 - T H T 1 - H T T 2 - T H H 2 - H T H 2 - H H T 3 - H H H ... so, the probability of each possible number of heads is 0: 1 in 8, 1: 3 in 8, 2: 3 in 8, and 3: 1 in 8.
4 : Each coin toss multiplies the generated outcome by two. The outcome for two tosses can be Heads (H) Tails (T), H H, T T or T H. As such, with three tosses the outcome can be H H H, H H T, H T H, T H H, T T H, T T T, T H T, H T T. We can define the number of outcomes as 2^n, where n is the amount of tosses.
If the 'outcome' means heads vs. tails, then there are 8 possibilities. They are: 1). H H H 2). H H T 3). H T H 4). H T T 5). T H H 6). T H T 7). T T H 8). T T T
Coin 1 H T or T H Coin 2 H T or T H 4 Combining H T T H H T T H From this table the result can be 2 x H 2 x T H T or T H
there could be five possible outcomes: t= tails h= heads t t t t 4 tails t t t h 3 tails 1 head t t h h 2 tails 2 heads t h h h 1 tail 3 heads h h h h 4 heads
4: h/h, h/t, t/h & t/t
There are 8 permutations of three coins. Of these, 3 of them have two heads, so the probability of tossing two heads on three coins is 3 in 8, or 0.375. However, you said, "at least", so that includes the case of three heads, so the probability of throwing at least two heads is 4 in 8, or 0.5. T T T T T H T H T T H H * H T T H T H * H H T * H H H *
