Question

Consider the experiment of flipping three coins at the same time. What is the probability of getting a heads on each of the three coins on the one toss of the three coins?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.125 is the probability of getting a heads on each of the three coins on the one toss of the three coins.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Event: flipping three coins at the same time

We can write the sample space as:

S:{TTT, THH, HTH, HHT, TTH, HTT, THT, HHH}

We define probability as

$\text{Probability} = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Number of favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

We have to evaluate the probability of getting a heads on each of the three coins on the one toss of the three coins

$P(HHH) = \dfrac{1}{8}=0.125$

0.125 is the probability of getting a heads on each of the three coins on the one toss of the three coins.
