Toss three coins 16 times and write down the outcomes. Find out
o The probability of getting three tails while tossing the coin.
o The probability of getting three heads while tossing the coin.
o The probability of getting one head and two tails while tossing the coin.
o The probability of getting one tail and two heads while tossing the coin.
Try tossing three coins 24 times. Are the probabilities any closer?
• Get together with a partner and play rock, paper and scissors. Play a total of 20 times and record your
data in a tabular form.
What was the probability that your partner will throw rock?
What was the probability that your partner will throw scissors?
What was the probability that you will throw paper?
What was the probability that you will throw rock?
• Take face cards from deck of 52 cards. Then find the probability of getting jack card. Now if you replace
all queen cards with 10 number cards, now find the probability of getting a face card.
Plz answer fast its urgent...
and plz dont give any irrevilent answer...

If a coin is tossed 3 times, what is the probability of getting a head and a tail consecutively?
Data science course.
Simple probability questions like this are posed all the time. You can probably get the answer by searching for similar past questions.
Without giving the answer, here’s how to approach the problem.
Assuming a fair coin, how many outcomes are possible on a single toss? (I’ll spot you that one: 2.)
Write down all the different possible outcomes on 3 consecutive tosses: HHH, HHT, HTH, etc. How many are there? Call that number PO.
What is the probability of each outcome? Are they identical?
How many of those outcomes are what you want? Call that number WO.
Add up the probabilities of the wanted outcomes. That is your answer.
(Note: Some will tell you that you can simply calculate WO/PO. That is correct as long as all the outcomes are equally probable. In this case it’s true, but you need to know that before you do that calculation.)
That’s quite easy to find. You only need to create a sample space for the possible outcomes of the experiment.
The possible results of the experiment are:
S=HHH,HHT,HTH,HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT
These are total 8 different possible outcomes. So, n(S)=8 . If our outcome of interest is HHH , there is only one case of three consecutive head n(A)=1, where A represents outcome of interest.
Since,
P(x)=n(A)n(S)
The probability getting three consecutive heads is 18
The same method can be used to calculate probability of getting three consecutive tails or of any other outcome of interest. :)
