The probability of getting heads is 3/8.
<u>Probability:</u>
Probability is a branch of mathematics that quantifies the likelihood of an event occurring or the likelihood of a statement being true. Probability is a number between 0 and 1, with 0 generally indicating impossibility and 1 indicating certainty. that an event will occur. A simple example is tossing a fair (unbiased) coin. Since the coin is fair, the two outcomes (heads and tails) are equally likely. The probability of heads is the same as the probability of tails. Since no other outcome is possible, the probability of heads or tails is 1/2 (also written as 0.5 or 50%).
Since 3 is a small number, let's list out all possible combinations.
H represents a head while T represents a tail.
3 Heads
HHH
2 Heads
HHT
HTH
THH
1 Head
HTT
THT
TTH
0 Head
TTT
The answer is
3/1+3+3+1=3/8
OR
In general, we will find that the list resembles a particular row of the pascal's triangle.
If you want to know the probability of getting r heads (or tails) from n flips, it is the sum of the rth elements in the n + 1 line. All elements of the series n+1.

= 3/8

We must recall that a horizontal asymptote is the value/s of y that the given function approaches to but never reaches. To find this in a rational function, we compare the expressions with highest degree in the numerator and denominator. There are three possible outcome when this happens.
1. if the highest degree (highest exponent) in the numerator is bigger than that of the denominator, then there won't be any horizontal asymptote.
2. if the highest degree in the denominator is bigger, then the horizontal symptote would be y = 0.
3. if they have the same highest degree, then we just get the quotient of their coefficient.
Now, going back to our function, we have
From this we can see that the highest degree in the numerator is 1 (from 2x) and 2 (from x²) for the denominator. Clearly, it shows that its denominator has a higher degree. And from our discussion, we can conclude that the horizontal asymptote would be y = 0.
Answer: y = 0
