well the possible outcomes are as follows (H=Heads T=Tails)
- H H H H H
- H H H H T
- H H H T T
- H H T T T
- H T T T T
- T T T T T
That's six different possibilities you can have therefore the chance of getting 3 heads is one (because there is only one possibility with three heads) over six (because there are six possibilities)

What is the probability of getting heads on all 3 times if flips coin 4 times?
If a coin is flipped 4 times, the probability of getting 3 heads is: 4C3 (1/2)^3 (1/2)^1 = 4(1/8)(1/2) = 4/16 = 1/4
What is the expected number of flips of a coin to simulate a six-sided die?
Five coin flips. Any outcome on a six-sided die has a probability of 1 in 6. If I assume that the order of the outcome does not matter, the same probability can be achieved with five flips of the coin. The possible outcomes of five flips of a coin are as follows: 5 Heads 5 Tails 4 Heads and 1 Tails 4 Tails and 1 Heads 3 Heads and 2 Tails 3 Tails and 2 Heads For six possible outcomes.
What is the probability that three coin flips will have at least one head?
Pr(3 flips at least one H) = 1 - Pr(3 flips, NO heads) = 1 - Pr(3 flips, TTT) = 1 - (1/2)3 = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8
What is the probability is of getting 3 heads in a row if I toss the coin 10 times?
The probability of getting 3 or more heads in a row, one or more times is 520/1024 = 0.508 Of these, the probability of getting exactly 3 heads in a row, exactly once is 244/1024 = 0.238
What is the probability of getting 3 heads from 4 coin tosses?
The probability is 1 out of 5
