Answer:

3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

This is simple probability and we have to divided the possible outcomes by total outcomes.

The sample space is given by  2 raises to power n where n is the number of tosses .

Here we have 5 tosses .

The Sample Space is 2⁵.

The possible arrangement of three tails would be 3!

The possible ways of arranging  2 Heads would be 2!

We want to find the probability of 3 tails and 2 heads

Therefore

P (3 tails and 2 heads ) = 3! 2!/  2⁵

                                        =2* 6/ 2⁵= 12/32= 6/16= 3/8
