1 coin has 2 sides. Multiply 2 × 3 to get the total number of outcomes.
2 × 3 = 6
There are 3/6 Possible outcomes.
Remember, they are looking for the number of heads, not both.

Answer:

There is a 57.18% probability that you will lose at most 1 of the broccoli plants.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each plant, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they die, or they do not. This means that we can solve this problem using the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

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