you have about a 42% chance for that to happen
The answer depends on "the outcome is heads HOW MANY TIMES!"
The odds of getting 3 heads in a toss of 3 coins is 1 in 8, or 0.125. Each coin is probabalistically unrelated to each other, so you simply multiply the odds for each coin. 1 in 2 times 1 in 2 times 1 in 2 is 1 in 8.
Saying that the odds of something occurring are a to b (or a:b) means that we expect the event to occur a times for every b times it does not occur. For instance, the odds of drawing tails on a coin flip are 1 to 1, so if we repeat the experiment a very large number of times, we will have 1 occurrence of "tails" for every occurrence of "heads". The odds of getting a 5 on a dice roll are 1:5, and so on.
lets get some facts odds of head on 1 coin 50% or evens odds of no head 50% or evens the possible results vary from 1 coin to 2 coins. 1 coin has 2 results heads or tails 2 coins have 4 results. heads heads, tails tails, tails heads, heads tails. each outcome has a probability of 25%. for the question we remove the heads and tail probability and we have 2 outcomes with heads and one without. so 2 to 1 chance or 33.3333 recuring chance.
Assuming a fair coin, the odds of getting four tails in a row are 1 in 16.

The probability of heads is 1/2.
The odds of getting 3 heads in a toss of 3 coins is 1 in 8, or 0.125. Each coin is probabalistically unrelated to each other, so you simply multiply the odds for each coin. 1 in 2 times 1 in 2 times 1 in 2 is 1 in 8.
As a coin has two sides, the odds are always 50-50.
Three in eight are the odds of getting exactly two heads in three coin flips. There are eight ways the three flips can end up, and you can get two heads and a tail, a head and a tail and a head, or a tail and two heads to get exactly two heads.
The odds are 50/50. A tossed coin does not have a memory.
the only combination which does not produce heads at least once it tails twice. the odds of getting tails twice is 0.5*0.5=0.25 so the odds for getting heads at least once is 1-0.25=0.75 or 75% or 3/4.
The odds of flipping a coin and having it come up heads three times in a row is (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)=(1/8) or 12.5% ■
There are two sides on a coin. The odds are 50:100, or 1:2. Half the time the coin SHOULD land on heads.
3 to 1
There are 4 possible outcomes, HH, HT, TH, TT. If we assume the odds of tossing heads or tails on any toss is 1/2 (50:50) the odds of tossing heads twice in a row is 1/4 (or 25%).
