What are the odds against getting exactly two heads in three successive flips of a coin?
Three in eight are the odds of getting exactly two heads in three coin flips. There are eight ways the three flips can end up, and you can get two heads and a tail, a head and a tail and a head, or a tail and two heads to get exactly two heads.
When a coin is tossed three times what is the probability of getting at most two heads?
The opposite of getting at most two heads is getting three heads. The probability of getting three heads is (1/2)^2, which is 1/8. The probability of getting at most two heads is then 1 - 1/8 which is 7/8.
Stone heads with grim faces probably represented what god?
They likely represented the Rain God.
You flip 3 coins what is the probability that you get exactly 3 heads?
There is a 1/8 chance to land three heads.
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%
