Total outcomes of 3 coins tossed simultaneously = 8 outcomes
Outcomes of getting atleast
2 heads = 3
Probability = no. Of outcomes / total no.
Of outcomes
P(E) = 3/8

Answer: 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of possible outcomes = 2³ = 8.
The different possible outcomes are (sample space):
{TTT , TTH , THT , HTT , HHH , HHT , HTH , THH}
Th probability of getting atleast two heads also counts all three heads as one possibility.
So we have 4 favorable outcomes out of 8.
i.e : {HHT , HTH , THH , HHH}
Probability = No of favorable outcome ÷ Total No of outcomes
⇒ Probability = 4 ÷ 8 = 0.5
Hope this answer helps.
