Each independent trial has a 1/2 probability that a heads will result. So for a sequence of 4 heads you have 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/16
2 heads and 2 tails
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%
The possible outcomes are: hhh hht hth thh htt tht tth ttt If you mean exactly 2 heads (and not 3 heads), then you can see 3 out of 8 possibilities have exactly 2 heads. So the probability is 3/8 or 0.375 If you mean at least 2 heads (2 or 3 heads), then 4/8 or 0.5.
It is 1/2.
pigs do indeed have a muscle called the biceps brachii. It is one headed though unlike in humans where there are 2 heads.
The muscle of the arm with three heads or points of origin is the triceps brachii.

bi- is a prefix meaning "two". You can find it in words like bicycle, bilingual (speaking 2 languages), bisexual, biceps (muscle which has 2 heads),...
Triceps.
Myosin heads contain ATPase enzymes, which hydrolyze ATP to provide energy for muscle contraction. This energy is used to power the movement of myosin heads along actin filaments during the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction.
It tells you the number of origins. "When biceps, triceps, or quadriceps forms part of a muscle's name, you can assume that the muscle has two, three, or four origins, respectively. For example, the biceps brachii muscle of the arm has two origins, or heads."- Human Anatomy & Physiology. Eighth Edition. Elaine N. Marieb page 321
