Coin toss probability,?

Question

If you toss a coin 3 times, what is the probability that the coin will land on heads each time?

Answer 1

im just guessing but 1/2 because if you toss a coin once, the probability of landing heads is 1/2 so tossing a coin three times would equal 3/6 which reduces to 1/2

Answer 2

50% chance each time.

Answer 3

(1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2) = 1/8

Answer 4

1/2 X 1/2 X 1/2 = 1/8

1/8 is your probabilty

Answer 5

(1/2)^3 = 1/8

Answer 6

Assuming the coin is fair, the probability of heads on any given flip is 1/2.

Since each flip is independent (doesn't rely on the previous results), you can multiply the probabilities.

1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

Answer 7

= 100%(1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2)

= 100%(1/8)

= 12.5%

Answer: 1/8 or 12.5%

Answer 8

1/2 is the probability for one head and youre doing it three times so

1/2 times 1/2 times 1/2= 1/8

Answer 9

1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

Answer 10

50/50

Answer 11

1/2 x 1/2 x 1/2 = 1 chance in 8

Answer 12

1 in 8.

Each toss has a 1 in 2 chance of landing on heads.

1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

Answer 13

i think its 1/8

the first time its 1/2, then the next its also 1/2 but you multiply those, then the third, etc.

we did this last year and im pretty sure thats how you work it out.

Answer 14

1.5/3

Answer 15

1/8

Answer 16

the question can be translated as:

(1st time head)and(2nd time head)and(3rd time head)

=.5*.5*.5

=.125

remember, in probability 'AND' means * operation

'OR' means + operation

if the question were head at least one time, then the solution would be:

((1st H)AND(2nd H)AND(3rd H)) OR ((1st H)AND(2nd H)AND(3rdT)) OR ...                                   3! = 3*2*1 - 1(TTT combination excluded) = 5 ways

= (.5*.5*.5) + (.5*.5*.5) + ....              5times

= .125 * 5

= .625

hope this clears ur concept of probability

Answer 17

(1/2)^3 = 1/8.
