Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.125 = 12.5% probability of observing exactly 3 tails.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem, considering 3 tosses of a fair coin, the parameters are n = 3 and p = 0.5.

The probability of 3 tails is P(X = 3), hence:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.5)^{3}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.125

0.125 = 12.5% probability of observing exactly 3 tails.
