Best Answer

For exactly two; we take the chance that for the first two coins come out heads and the second 2 come out tails. and then we multiply by the number of different possibilities. (i.e it could be the first and third or the first and fourth). so we get .5*.5*.5*.5*6=.375=37.5%

if you want 2 or greater. the answer by similar logic is .5625 or 56.25%

When a coin is tossed three times what is the probability of getting at most two heads?

What is probability of getting all heads if 3 coins are tossed simultaneously?

There is a probability of 0.5 of heads on each coin, so there is a 1/2 * 1/2 *1/2 = 1/8 = 0.125 chance that all coins land heads. You can also express this as a percentage, 12.5% chance. The odds are 1 in 8 that this can happen.
