lands heads up
This is a problem concerning binomial probability distribution. If you have three coins, each one can land heads or tails. (We will ignore the remote chance that a coin will land on its edge.) Each coin has an equal probability of landing heads or tails. In other words, each coin has two possible states. Since there are three coins, there are 2 x 3 = 6 possible states. We can easily see what they are with a table: HHH HHT HTH HTT THH THT TTH TTT Three of those possible eight states contain two and only two heads. So the probability of throwing any of those three states is three in eight, or 3/8 = 0.375.
One or more heads.
The answer will depend on states in which country!
