The probability of throwing exactly 2 heads in three flips of a coin is 3 in 8, or 0.375.
There are 8 outcomes of flipping a coin 3 times, HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, and TTT. Of those outcomes, 3 contain two heads, so the answer is 3 in 8.
The probability of flipping a coin 3 times and getting 3 heads is 1/2
p(heads)= 0.5 p(heads)^4= 0.0625

The best way to think about this is the following way: What is the probability of flipping heads once? 1/2 What is the probability of flipping heads twice? 1/4 (1/2 * 1/2) Using this we can derive the equation to find the probability of flipping heads any number of times. 1/2n Using this we plug in 25 for n and get 1/225 or as a decimal 2.98023224 x 10-8 or as odds 1:33,554,432
You still still have a 1:2 chance of getting heads regardless of the times you flip.
The probability of flipping a coin 3 times and getting 3 heads is 1/2
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.

The probability of heads is 0.5 each time.The probability of four times is (0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5) = 0.0625 = 1/16 = 6.25% .
Theoretical is 50% Heads, 50% tails: 30-Heads, 30-Tails (theoretical)
The probability of flipping a coin and having it land heads in a single flip is 1/2. To find the probability of getting heads in 6 consecutive flips, you multiply the probabilities of each individual flip: (1/2)^6. This results in a probability of 1/64, or approximately 0.0156 (1.56%).
To calculate the probability of getting at least four heads when flipping a coin six times, we can use the binomial probability formula. The total number of outcomes for six flips is (2^6 = 64). The probabilities for getting exactly four, five, and six heads can be calculated using the binomial formula, and their sum gives the total probability of getting at least four heads. This results in a probability of approximately 0.65625, or 65.625%.
