i would go with 3/8 because there are 3 things you want to flip and each of them has a chance of getting the other 2 one time... if that's confusing i don't blame you, go with 3/8

consider each flip separately

probability of heads = 1/2
probability of tails = 1/2

so the probability of getting two heads and a tail is

probability of heads * probability of heads * probability of tails = ?
