Question

What is the probability of flipping a coin three times and having them all land "heads" up?

Answer 1

• 1/8 or 0.125 or 12.5%

---------------------------

The probability of flipping a coin and having it land "heads" up is 1/2.

Since each coin flip is independent, the probability of getting three heads in a row is the product of the individual probabilities.

Therefore, the probability of flipping a coin three times and having them all land "heads" up is:

• (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/8 or 0.125 or 12.5%
