(1/2)*(2/6) = 1/6
The answer depends on what the experiment is!
1/4
The probability is 1/4
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.
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% .
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 %
The probability of flipping three tails with three coins is (1 in 2)3 or 1 in 8 or 0.125.

1/4
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%
In three tosses, the probability is 3/8.
The probability is 1/4
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.
It is 0.5
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... .
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.
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% .
