Answer:
i hope it helps
Step-by-step explanation:
There are eight possible outcomes from tossing a coin three times: HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT. Assuming the coin is fair, each of these outcomes is equally probable. Three of them (HHT, HTH, THH) have two heads and one tail. So the probability is 3/8.
A coin is tossed 3 times. What is the probability that the tosses are the same?
A coin is tossed thrice, what is the probability of getting at least one head?
If a coin is tossed thrice, what is the probability of getting one or two heads?
A fair coin is tossed 4 times. What is the probability of getting most two tails appear, three heads, or two tails?
A fair coin is tossed three times. What are the possibilities of the coin landing on two heads and one tail?
One toss can give two (2) possible outcomes - head and tail. So, three tosses can give (2*2*2) = 8 possible outcomes.
2 heads and 1 tail out of 3 tosses can occur in (3C2)*(1C1) = 3 ways.
So, the probability = (3 / 8).
(1/2)^3 x 3 to account for the 3 tosses and the fact that the T can be in any of 3 positions. 3/8 or 37.5%

A
Answer:
(A) The probability of getting at least one head is 7/8.
(B) The probability of getting at most two heads is 7/8.
(C) The probability of getting exactly two tails is 3/8.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
A coin is tossed three times.
Sample space ={ HHH, TTT, HTH, THT, HHT, TTH, THH,HTT}.
To find,
A) Getting at least one head.
B) Getting at most two heads.
C) Getting exactly two tails.
Calculation,
sample space n(S) = 8,
A) Getting at least one head
Let 'A' be the event of getting at least one head
Then A = =(HHH, HTH,THT,HHT,TTH,THH,HTT)
Hence, N(A) = 7,
Then, P(A) = n(A)/n(S)
⇒ P(A)=7/8.
Therefore, the probability of getting at least one head is 7/8.
B) Getting at most two head
Let 'B' be the event of getting at most two heads
Then B = (TTT, HTH, THT, HHT, TTH, THH, HTT)
Hence, n(B) = 7
Then, P(B) = n(B)/n(S)
⇒ P(B) = 7/8
Therefore, the probability of getting at most two heads is 7/8.
(C) Getting exactly two tails
Let 'C' be the event of getting exactly two tails.
Then C = (THT,TTH,HTT)
Hence, n(C) =3
Then, P(C) = n(C)/n(S)
⇒ P(C)=3/8
Therefore, the probability of getting exactly two tails is 3/8.
