Algebra.Com's Answer #697234 by redd62(2) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! flipping a coin gives either head or tail. here coin is flipped three times so samplespace is 2*2*2=8\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "{HHT, HTH, THH, HHH, TTT, TTH, THT, HTT}\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "favourable outcomes are {TTH, THT, HTT} i.e. 3\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we can also find favourable outcome in another way. we have to get two tails and one head in any order. (TTH). so total no. of ways of getting = 3!/2!= 3\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so prob is 3/8 \n" ); document.write( " |
