When tossing 3 fair coins what are the chances of getting 2 heads?
It is 3/8
What is the probability of tossing a coin three times and getting it on heads each time?
Each toss has a 1/2 probability of getting heads. Each toss is an independent event. So three heads in a row (heads AND heads AND heads) would have a probability of:1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = (1/2)^3 = 1/(2^3) = 1/8 = 12.5%
If you flip a coin and toss a one to six What is the probability of getting three heads?
The odds of flipping a coin and having it come up heads three times in a row is (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)=(1/8) or 12.5% ■
What is the probability of landing on an even number when tossing an 8 sided die and tossing a coin and getting heads?
1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 1/2= probability of landing an even number 1/2 = probability of landing a heads
What is probability of at least 2 heads on tossing 3 coins?
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 *

What is the probability of getting heads three times in a row when tossing a coin?
Ideally, the probability of getting any specific combination of length n is 0.5n = 1/2n. For n = 3, this is 0.125 = 1/8.

What are the odds of an ace of hearts game going down to four cards 8 times in a row?
The odds for an ace of hearts game going down to four cards 8 times in a row is 30 percent.
A coin is tossed 3 times. What is the probability of getting 3 tails in a row?
The answer I'm editing says the odds are 1 in 8. This is true only if you actually mean the probability of getting 3 tails in a row, rather than just 3 of either heads or tails in a row. In mentioned case, the first flip doesn't matter which side it lands on, just the proceeding two flips do. So, the odds of flipping a coin three times with the same outcome are 1 in 2^2 or 1 in 4. The odds of flipping three tails in a row are 1 in 2^3 or 1 in 8.
What is the probability of you getting three heads straight for tossing a fair coin three times?
It is 1/8 = 0.125
What is the probability of landing on an even number when tossing an 8 sided die and tossing a coin and getting heads?
1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 1/2= probability of landing an even number 1/2 = probability of landing a heads
What is the probability of getting three heads in tossing a coin three times?
It is (1/2)3 = 1/8 or 0.125
What is the probability of tossing a coin 3 times and getting 3 heads?
There are 23 or 8 possibilities; one is HHH. So, probability of HHH is 1/8 or 0.125.
What is the probability of not tossing three heads with three fair coins?
The probability of something NOT happening is the complement of the probability of something happening. Since the probability that you DO have 3 heads is 1/8 (that is, 1/2 cubed), the complement is 1 - 1/8 = 7/8.
