Solution

  1. The sample space of tossing a coin three times is: {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}

  2. The number of events in the sample space is 8.

  3. The probability of getting 3 heads (HHH) is 1 out of 8, or 0.125.

If we toss a fair coin 3 times, what's the probability that we get 3 heads in a row?

A coin is tossed three times. An outcome is represented by a string of the sort HTT (meaning a head on the first toss, followed by two tails). The 8 outcomes are listed in the table below. Note that each outcome has the same probability.For each of the three events in the table, check the outcome(s) that are contained in the event. Then, in the last column, enter the probability of the event.Outcomes ProbabilityTHH TTT HTT HHH TTH HHT HTH THTEvent A: No heads on the first two tosses Event B: A tail on the second toss Event C: Alternating head and tail (with either coming first)
