What are the odds if a coin is tossed 3 times and the out come is heads?
The answer depends on "the outcome is heads HOW MANY TIMES!"
If you toss 3 coins what are the odds of getting exactly 3 heads?
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.
What does odds in favor mean?
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.
Arnold flipped a coin twice and it landed heads up both times If he flips the coin again What is the probability the coin will land heads up?
The correct answer is 1/2. The first two flips do not affect the likelihood that the third flip will be heads (that is, the coin has no "memory" of the previous flips). If you flipped it 100 times and it came up heads each time, the probability of heads on the 101st try would still be 1/2. (Although, if you flipped it 100 times and it came up heads all 100 times - the odds of which are 2^100, or roughly 1 in 1,267,650,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 - you should begin to wonder about whether it's a fair coin!). If you were instead asking "What is the probability of flipping a coin three times and having it land on "heads" all three times, then the answer is 1/8.
Two coins are tossed what is the probability of getting no head?
