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.
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.
Assuming the coins are fair, two-sided coins, and landing on their sides is not an option, there are four possible outcomes if you consider coin a having a head and coin b having a tail being a different instance from coin a being a tail and coin be having a head. Here they are; Coin A | Coin B Heads | Tails Heads | Heads Tails....| Heads Tails....| Tails
The probability of getting all heads is 1/24 = 1/16 The probability of getting all tails is also 1/24 = 1/16 The probability of all heads or all tails is the sum of the two = 1/8
.125
The probability of tossing two heads in two coins is 0.25.
The probabilty of you flipping 3 coins and getting all heads or tails is 0.125 or 1/8.
1/4
1 in 4
The answer depends on how many coins are flipped, and how often.
The probability is 0.375
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/If_you_Flip_four_coins_at_once_what_is_probability_of_2_head_and_3_tail" The probability of flipping four coins and getting 2 heads and 3 tails is ZERO 2 heads and 3 tails requires flipping FIVE coins.
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.
0.54 or 0.0625 or 1/16.
Well, you have 24 possibilities, and you can get heads 6 ways, so it is 1/4.
It is 1/2.
If both tosses are fair, the probability of that outcome is one in four.
When flipping 3 coins, each coin has 2 possible outcomes: heads (H) or tails (T). Therefore, the total number of outcomes is calculated as (2^3), which equals 8. The possible outcomes are: HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, and TTT. Thus, there are 8 different outcomes from flipping 3 coins.
