Practicing Success
When 3 coins are tossed simultaneously, the probability of having at most 3 heads is: |
0 1 $\frac{7}{8}$ $\frac{1}{8}$ |
$\frac{1}{8}$ |
The total no. of possible cases in tossing three coins = (2)3 = 8 The possibilities in tossing three coins are = {(H,H,H), (T,H,T), (T,T,H), (T,T,T), (H,T,H), (H,H,T),(H,T,T), (T,H,H) } There is only possibility of getting three heads is = (H,H,H) = 1 So, the required probability = 1/8 |
