What is the probability of getting a run of three consecutive heads before a run of two consecutive tails when tossing a fair coin over and over?
The probability of getting a head first time is one out of two, or a half. The probability of getting a head the next time is still one out of two, so the combined probability is one quarter. Similarly, one eighth is the probability of getting three in a row; but the pattern does not end there, the probability of getting a tails the next time is STILL one in two, so that is a one in sixteen chance of that run, the probability of the entire sequence is therefore one in thirty-two.
Probability of getting one head and two tails on a toss of three fair coins?
