What is the probability of flipping a coin 3 times and getting tails every time?
1/8
Answer: The probability of flipping a coin three times and getting 3 tails is 1/8.
What is the probability that three consecutive coin flips will all yield heads?
Three flips of a fair coin What is the probability that it lands heads up, then tails up, then heads up? So the answer is 1/8, or 12.5\%.
What is the probability of not getting a heads on each of three consecutive coin tosses?
The probability of getting 3 heads when you toss a “fair” coin three times is (as others have said) 1 in 8, or 12.5\%. However, that isn’t the question you asked. If you toss a coin exactly three times, there are 8 equally likely outcomes, and only one of them contains 3 consecutive heads. So the probability is 1 in 8.
What is the probability of flipping 3 coins and getting all heads or all tails?
So, since the probability of one coin flip being Heads is 1/2 (assuming a fair coin), the probability of 3 coins being Heads is (1/2)^3 or 1/8. The probability of Tails is exactly the same. So, 1/8 + 1/8 = 2/8 or 1/4.
What is the probability of 3 consecutive heads coin tosses?
What is the probability of 3 consecutive heads coin tosses? The probability of getting 3 heads when you toss a “fair” coin three times is (as others have said) 1 in 8, or 12.5\%. However, that isn’t the question you asked. If you toss a coin exactly three times, there are 8 equally likely outcomes, and only one of them contains 3 consecutive heads.
What is the probability of alternating heads and tails in three tosses?
The probability is calculated by dividing the number of that meet your condition, lets call these Favourable Outcomes, by the Number of Outcomes. Therefore the probability of alternating Heads and Tails in three consecutive coin tosses is 25\%.
How many different ways can you toss a coin three times?
First lets consider how many different ways there are to toss a coin three times. On the first toss there are two outcomes, Heads or Tails. On the second toss there are two outcomes (Heads or Tails) and the same for the third toss.
How many coins have 2 heads and 3 tails?
Landings for the 5 coins comprising 3 Heads and 2 Tails are shown in Bold Italics and numbered 1 – 10: There are 10 instances, shown in bold and italics, where 2 Heads and 3 Tails occur. BUT, while I may have demonstrated my typing ability… surely there’s an easier way to reach the same conclusion?
