The number of total outcomes on 3 tosses for a coin is 2 3, or 8. Since only 1 outcome is H, H, H, the probability of heads on three consecutive tosses of a coin is 1/8.

What is the probability that a coin that is tossed 10 times what is the probability of it landing on heads 10 times?
The probability is 0.09766%.Each toss has a ½ chance to be heads. To combine probabilities use multiply them. So the probability to get two heads out of two tosses is ½ * ½, and three heads out of three tosses is ½ * ½ * ½. So the exact answer is 0.5^10
What is the probability of getting heads twice out of three tosses?
2 out of 3 i think
When tossing a fair coin the probability of getting three heads in a row is?
In a large enough number of tosses, it is a certainty (probability = 1). In only the first three tosses, it is (0.5)3 = 0.125
What is the probability that a coin lands heads up on three consecutive tosses?
For each toss, the probability that it'll land heads up is 1/2 So 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8, or .125 There is a 12.5% chance that it will land heads-up all 3 times.
What is the probability of getting three or fewer heads on eight tosses of a coin?
It is 93/256 = 0.363 approx.

If you toss a coin 3 times what is the probability that it will land on heads 3 times?
The probability of getting heads on three tosses of a coin is 0.125. Each head has a probability of 0.5. Since the events are sequentially unrelated, simply raise 0.5 to the power of the number of tosses (3) and get 0.125, or 1 in 8.
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 of getting three sixes in five tosses of a die?
The probability is 0.0322
You are tossing three coins and want to determine the probability for getting at least one head?
Pr(At least one head in three tosses) = 1 - Pr(No heads in three tosses) = 1 - Pr(Three tails in three tosses) = 1 - (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2) = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8 or 0.875 or 87.5%
What is the probability that all 3 tosses will result in heads?
The probability that a coin will result in heads in any one toss is 1/2. If you toss the coin three times, the probability that the coin will turn up heads each time is 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 or 1/8, which is 12.5%.
