Each flip can come up in either one of 2 ways. So the number of different histories
of 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% .

What is the probability of flipping no heads when you flip three identical coins?
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.
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 flipping NO heads when you flip 3 identical coins?
The chance of not flipping a head in each instance is 1/2. You need that to happen three times. 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8 So there is a 1 in 8 chance of getting no heads from 3 coin flips.
What is the probability of flipping a coin three times and it landing all three times?
100 percent. it will always land somewhere.
What is your probability of getting 1 or more tails if you flip three coins?
The same as (the opposite of) flipping 3 heads which is 1/2*1/2*1/2 = 1/8 The opposite of that being 1 - 1/8 = 7/8
The probability of flipping a coin three times and getting two heads is?
There are 8 permutations of flipping a coin 3 times, or of flipping 3 coins one time. They are, with the permutations of two heads bolded...TTTTTHTHTTHHHTTHTHHHTHHH... thus, the probability of flipping a coin 3 times and getting 2 heads is 3 in 8, or 0.375.
What is the probabality of flipping three heads when flipping three coins one after another?
The probability of flipping three heads when flipping three coins is 1 in 8, or 0.125. It does not matter if the coins are flipped sequentially or simultaneously, because they are independent events.
What is the probability of flipping three coins and getting one head followed by one tail by one head?
1/8 or 12.5%
What is the probability of flipping three tails when three coins are flipped?
The probability of flipping three tails with three coins is (1 in 2)3 or 1 in 8 or 0.125.
What is the probability of flipping no heads when you flip three identical coins?
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.

What is the probability of getting one head when flipping a coin three times?
The probability is 3/8.The probability is 3/8.The probability is 3/8.The probability is 3/8.
What is the probability of flipping NO heads when you flip 3 identical coins?
The chance of not flipping a head in each instance is 1/2. You need that to happen three times. 1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/8 So there is a 1 in 8 chance of getting no heads from 3 coin flips.
What is the probability of flipping a coin three times and it landing all three times?
100 percent. it will always land somewhere.
What is the probability of flipping a coin three times and it landing on heads all three times?
1/8. The probability of flipping a coin three times and it landing on head is 1/2, as a coin only has two sides. You flip a coin three times, therefore the answer is (1/2)^3 = 1/8.
What is the probability of getting three heads if you flip four coins?
75% is not correct. The odds of flipping 4 independent coins is the same as flipping one coin 4 times. The number of outcomes of 4 flips is 2^4 or 16. The number of ways to exactly get 3 Heads is 4 (THHH, HTHH, HHTH, HHHT) so your chance of flipping 3 heas is 4/16 or 25%. If you include the occurance that produced 4 of 4 Heads, then you get 5/16 or 31.25%.
What is your probability of getting 1 or more tails if you flip three coins?
The same as (the opposite of) flipping 3 heads which is 1/2*1/2*1/2 = 1/8 The opposite of that being 1 - 1/8 = 7/8
