What is the probability that the first two flips will both be heads and the third flip will be either heads or tails if you flip three fair coins?
I assume you mean what's the chance of at least two heads showing when three fair coins are tossed. There are 8 possible outcomes as each coin can either be head or tails. For 3 heads, all 3 coins must show a head → 1 success For 2 heads, one coin will be a Tail; each coin could be a tail in turn → 3 successes → Pr = (1+3)/8 = 4/8 = 1/2 If you are wanting the probability that the first TWO specific coins are heads and the last, third, coin is either, then: Pr(head) = 1/2 → Pr(1st 2 heads, 3rd anything) = 1/2 × 1/2 × 1 = 1/4
What is the probability of getting 2 heads in 2 coin tosses?
This can be calculated easily by multiplying the chances of getting one head in one toss for a fair coin (half) by itself(half) to give a quarter (1/4 or 1 in 4). If you wanted the chances of at least one head in 2 tosses, then the chances would be for anyhting exept 2 tails in a row, which is 1 - 0.25(quarter), which is 0.75 (3/4 or 3 quarters or 3 in 4)
