Question
Find the probability of each event.Three coins are tossed. What is the probability of two heads and one tail?
Step 1
Each coin flip can result in either a head (H) or a tail (T). So, for three coin flips, we have a total of $2^3 = 8$ possible outcomes. These are: HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT. Show more…
