Answer 10

Whats is the odds of you askingmthe question

Answer 11

idk

Answer 12

A is the answer there are possible 8 outcomes when kelly tosses the coin 3 times
HHH, TTT , HHT , THH, HTT, THT, TTH, HTH so the question is that we get 1 head and 2 tails in any order so HTT. THT , TTH there are 3 choices so out of 8 possible outcomes 3 is the answer so 3 over 8 hope you understand

Answer 13

Or take it like that

Answer 14

Ugh I just don't get it!!!

Answer 15

Answer 16

or the HHT , TTH thingies?

Answer 17

ugh everything

Answer 18

xD

Answer 19

Listen

Answer 20

Kelly tossed a coin first time she got Heads so (H) for the first try then she tossed it 2nd time she got again Heads so (H) for the 2nd try she tossed again she got Heads again all consecutive Heads in her 3 tries that makes it HHH do you get this part?

Answer 21

HHH these three heads represent the number of heads she got in her tries there are only 3 heads because she had 3 tries

Answer 22

so if she keeps tossing her coins randomly the possible number of her outcomes are 8 that is she can get heads or tails in her first , 2nd and third try until she doesn't get the same repeated outcome for example i toss a coin 3 times i get HHH for the first three tries now i toss i get TTT then i toss i get HTH then so on i get all these
HHH, TTT , HHT , THH, HTT, THT, TTH, HTH so these make them 8 outcomes now the question is that getting a head and 2 tail in any order so we take the outcome as our solution that is HTT , THT, TTH

Answer 23

the question was a head and tail in any order so there were 3 outcomes over 8 possibilities if the question would have been like suppose umm like kelly tosses a fair coin and gets all three heads in her try what is the probability that she will likely most get all three heads so that will 1 over 8 or 1/8 because only 1 possibility of three heads occuring that is HHH is possible over those 8 outcomes

Answer 24

if you still dont understand feel free to ask again :)
