what is the probability of getting 3 tails or 3 heads from a fair coin toss?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The probabilityy of getting 3 heads from 3 fair coin tosses is 1/8. So the probability of getting either 3 tails or 3 heads is 1/4.

25 %

i understand the 1/8 part. how did you get the 1/4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because 1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/8 for the 3 heads and 1/8 for the 3 tails, as both events are independent their probabilities just add up
