If you flip three fair coins, what is the probability that you'll get two tails and one head in any order?
@FortyTheRapper
So, what are the chances of flipping a heads if you only flipped it once?
1/2
So 3 flips would be 1/2, and then 1/2, and then 1/2 again. So that would be \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }*\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }*\frac{ 1 }{ 2}\]
Ah, 1/8
Correct. I don't know if 1/8 is acceptable or if they want it in a percent
@anthonyym May you confirm this
Sorry I'm not good with statistics, but the possible outcomes are (H=heads, T=Tails) are: HHH,HHT,HTH,THH,TTH,THT,HTT,TTT
^ Yeah, that's a great way to put it
And she wanted TTH
But it says in any order, so I'm guessing it's 3/8?
Oh it does! Yeah, then 3/8. I didn't see that part for some reason
