Question

Three coins are flipped,what is the Probability of getting one HEAD and two TAILs?

Answer 1

3/8

Explanation:

So, three outcomes give two heads and a tail (HHT, HTH, THH). Therefore, the probability of getting two heads and a tail is 3/8.

Answer 2

3/8

Explanation:

The possible outcomes are

HHH HHT HTH HTT

TTT TTH THT THH

where H is heads and T is tails

We want one head and two tails

HTT,TTH THT

There are 3 choices that fit

P ( one head and two tails is)= number of one head two tail/ total

= 3/8
