campbell_st · Answer

toss 3 coins once and the probability of 1 head is 3/8

so from 1000000 tosses the expected number of 1 head is

3/8 x 1000000 = 

just evaluate for the answer

anonymous · Answer

outcomes = 2^3 = 8 i.e HHH, HHT ,HTT, HTH, THH, THT, TTH, TTT
This means P(1head) = 1/8
from 100,000 tosses it becomes 1/8 x 100,000 = 12,500
