If you flip a coin 3 times. What is the probability of getting 2 heads?

Solution:

A coin is flipped 3 times.

We have to find the probability of getting 2 heads.

When a coin is flipped 3 times, the number of outcomes = 2³ = 8

Sample space = the possible outcomes = {HHH, THH, HTH, HHT, TTH, THT, HTT, TTT}

Number of cases in which we get 2 heads is 3.

P(2heads) = 3/8

= 0.375

Therefore, the probability of getting 2 heads is 0.375

If you flip a coin 3 times. What is the probability of getting 2 heads?

Summary:

If you flip a coin 3 times, the probability of getting 2 heads is 0.375
