What is the probability of getting exactly two heads in three coin tosses?
33%
What are the odds in favor of getting at least one head in 3 consecutive flips of a coin?
>>> 1:7 (or, if you like probability, 87.5%)I disagree. There are four possible combinations of three tosses (where order does not matter):HHHHHTHTTTTTThree of these combinations will show at least one head - only by throwing three tails will you not throw at least one head.Thus, the probability of throwing at least one head in three flips is 75%.
What is the probability of getting 2 heads when you toss three coins?
If you mean 'at least' 2 heads, the probability is 50%. If you mean exactly 2, the probability is 3/8, or 37.5%. There are 3 independent coin tosses, each of which is equally likely to come up heads or tails. That's a total of 2 * 2 * 2 or 8 possible outcomes (HHH, HHT, HTH, etc.). Of these, 4 include 2 or 3 heads, which is half of 8. Only 3 include exactly 2 heads, so the probability of that is 3/8.
What is the probability of getting heads at least once if a fair coin is flipped three times?
7/8
What is the probability that exactly two times head are being tossed?
The answer depends on how many times the coin is tossed. The probability is zero if the coin is tossed only once! Making some assumptions and rewording your question as "If I toss a fair coin twice, what is the probability it comes up heads both times" then the probability of it being heads on any given toss is 0.5, and the probability of it being heads on both tosses is 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.25. If you toss it three times and want to know what the probability of it being heads exactly twice is, then the calculation is more complicated, but it comes out to 0.375.
What is the probability of getting exactly two heads in three coin tosses?
33%
What is the probability of getting heads on three successive tosses of a coin?
0.53 = 0.125.
What is the probability of getting heads twice out of three tosses?
2 out of 3 i think
What is the probability of getting one tail on three coin tosses?
It is 3/8.
When tossing a fair coin the probability of getting three heads in a row is?
In a large enough number of tosses, it is a certainty (probability = 1). In only the first three tosses, it is (0.5)3 = 0.125
What is the probability of rolling two 2s followed by 1 on three tosses of a fair die?
If you toss the die often enough then the probability of getting the sequence 2-2-1 is 1: a certainty. The probability of getting the result in the first three tosses is 1/216.
What is the probability of getting three or fewer heads on eight tosses of a coin?
It is 93/256 = 0.363 approx.
What is the probability of tossing a dice and getting 3 sixes in a row?
The probability of tossing a die and getting three 6's in a row is (1/6)3, or about 0.004630.
If you toss a coin 3 times what is the probability that it will land on heads 3 times?
The probability of getting heads on three tosses of a coin is 0.125. Each head has a probability of 0.5. Since the events are sequentially unrelated, simply raise 0.5 to the power of the number of tosses (3) and get 0.125, or 1 in 8.
What is the probability of one head and two tails?
In three tosses, the probability is 3/8.
You are tossing three coins and want to determine the probability for getting at least one head?
Pr(At least one head in three tosses) = 1 - Pr(No heads in three tosses) = 1 - Pr(Three tails in three tosses) = 1 - (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2) = 1 - 1/8 = 7/8 or 0.875 or 87.5%
Find the probability of heads on three consecutive tosses of a coin?
The number of total outcomes on 3 tosses for a coin is 2 3, or 8. Since only 1 outcome is H, H, H, the probability of heads on three consecutive tosses of a coin is 1/8.
