What is the probability of getting 3 consecutive heads?
Answer: If you flip a coin 3 times the probability of getting 3 heads is 0.125. When you flip a coin 3 times, then all the possibe 8 outcomes are HHH, THH, HTH, HHT, TTH, THT, HTT, TTT. Explanation: Possible outcomes are HHH, THH, HTH, HHT, TTH, THT, HTT, TTT.
What is the expected number of tosses to get 3 consecutive heads?
So it takes 14 tosses to get 3 heads in a row, then 30 tosses to get 4 heads in a row, and this grows exponentially in the number of consecutive tosses.
What is the probability of getting 3 tails on 3 consecutive flips of a fair coin?
So finally we can write the answer: Probability of getting 3 tails in 3 coin flips is 18 .
What is the probability of getting two consecutive heads when a coin is tossed three times?
1/2
Answer: If you flip a coin 3 times, the probability of getting at least 2 heads is 1/2.
What is the probability of getting three heads or three tails on three successive 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 getting tails heads tails in that order in 3 successive tosses of a fair coin?
1/8
Answer: The probability of flipping a coin three times and getting 3 tails is 1/8.
What is the probability of 3 consecutive heads on a coin?
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 getting 3 heads with 3 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.
How do you find the probability of a fair coin toss?
A fair coin has etqual probabilitiers for heads and tails. Therefore the probability can simply be found by counting. There are eight different possibilities for outcomes of three tosses: Possibilities 1 to 7 have at least 1 head, while possibility 8 doesn’t.
How many heads in three tosses of a fair coin?
Find the probability that, in three tosses of a fair coin, there are three heads, given that there is at least one head. I have no idea, Can you please explain?
