What is the probability of getting at least 2 heads in three flips of a fair coin?
In three flips of a fair coin, there are a total of 8 possible outcomes: T, T, T; T, T, H; T, H, T; T, H, H; H, H, H; H, H, T; H, T, H; H, T, T Of the possible outcomes, four of them (half) contain at least two heads, as can be seen by inspection. Note: In flipping a coin, there are two possible outcomes at each flipping event. The number of possible outcomes expands as a function of the number of times the coin is flipped. One flip, two possible outcomes. Two flips, four possible outcomes. Three flips, eight possible outcomes. Four flips, sixteen possible outcomes. It appears that the number of possible outcomes is a power of the number of possible outcomes, which is two. 21 = 2, 22 = 4, 23 = 8, 24 = 16, .... Looks like a pattern developing there. Welcome to this variant of permutations.
A fair coin is flipped three times what is the probability that the coin lands heads each time?
7/8
What is the probability of getting 3 heads in 10 tosses of a fair coin?
130 instances of 3 heads out of 1024 total possible outcomes=130/1024=0.126953125
What is the probability of flipping heads on the coin?
The probability of flipping Heads on a coin is 1 - a certainty - if the coin is flipped often enough. On a single toss of a fair coin the probability is 1/2.
What is the probability of 3 tails in a row if a coin is flipped tree times?
For a fair coin it is (1/2)3 = 1/8 = 0.125For a fair coin it is (1/2)3 = 1/8 = 0.125For a fair coin it is (1/2)3 = 1/8 = 0.125For a fair coin it is (1/2)3 = 1/8 = 0.125
Possible outcomes of tossing a coin?
Heads or tails; each have a probability of 0.5 (assuming a fair coin).
What is the probability of getting at least 2 heads in three flips of a fair coin?

An experiment consists of flipping a fair coin and rolling a fair die How many possible outcomes have a head and an odd number?
3 of them.
A fair coin is tossed 3 times how many possible outcomes are there?
Each toss has 2 outcomes; so the number of outcomes for 3 tosses is 2*2*2 = 8
Three fair coins are flipped Describe the sample space for this experiment Find the probability that the coin comes up tails at most twice?
Sample space: {hhh,hht,hth,htt,ttt,tth,tht,thh} 8 possible outcomes
What does it mean for a probability to be fair?
A probability is fair if there is no bias in any of the possible outcomes. Said another way, all of the possible outcomes in a fair distribution have an equal probability.
A fair coin is flipped three times what is the probability that the coin lands heads each time?
7/8
Toin coss Probabilty Question?
Can you PLEASE help me with this problem:Suppose a fair coin is flipped twice and the following payoffs are assigned to each of the 4 possible outcomes: H-H:win20; H-T: win 9; T-H:lose 7; T-T: lose 16what is the ecepected value of the gamble?What is the probablity of each event?Is the gamble fair?
How many possible outcomes are there if you toss a fair coin four times?
Normally there would considered to be 2⁴ = 16 possible outcomes as each outcome is one of 2 states: Head or Tails. ------------------------- There is an extremely small probability that a normal coin will end up on its edge, which mean there are 3⁴ = 81 possible outcomes. However, this probability is so small that it is ignored and normally only 2 outcomes are considered possible. As the radius to width ratio of the coin changes, the probability of the coin ending up on its edge changes, for some values being so significant that it becomes a real probability that the edge can result, and for some ratios it is almost always the edge that results and the probability of head or tails (ie ends of the cylinder that is the coin) is so small as to be ignored like the edge for a normal sized coin (cylinder).
How many possible outcomes for flipping 2 coins?
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
What is the probability of getting heads at least once if a fair coin is flipped three times?
7/8
What is the probability of getting 3 heads in 10 tosses of a fair coin?
130 instances of 3 heads out of 1024 total possible outcomes=130/1024=0.126953125
