well since the coins have two sides,there is a 50% chance of it landing on heads

The probability of the first coin landing heads is half (or 1/2). Similarly, the probability of the second and third coins landing heads are also 1/2 in each case. Therefore, the probability of having three heads is: (1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = (1/8)
It is 1/2.
The sample space is 23 or 8; which can be listed out as: HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT. There are 2 of the 8 that have exactly 2 heads; so the probability of exactly two coins landing on heads is 2/8 or 1/4.
The probability is 6 in 12, or 1 in 2.
the probabiluty of two coins landing on tails is 1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4, or one chance in four
