Let's say we are interested in the probability number of heads on the 3
coins flipped. To find the probabilities for each of the possible
outcomes, we will use the multiplication rule.

The sample space of the number of heads when three coins are tossed
is O heads (TTT), 1 head (HTT, THT,TTH), 2 heads (
HHT, THH, HTH), 3 heads (H HH). To find the probability of
each of the outcomes in this sample space, we will use the addition
rule. Example: P(1 head) = P(HTT or THT or
TTH) = ++ =

Now use the histogram or table to answer the following questions.
1. What is the probability of flipping 3 coins and all three landing on
heads? P( H ) =
|(Enter your answer as a decimal. Do
not round.) HINT: Change the fraction to a decimal.
2. What is the probability of flipping 3 coins and getting 1 or 3
heads? P( H ) + + P( T) =
(Enter the outcomes in
numerical order. Enter your final answer only. Use the decimal
form of the probability. Do not round.)
3. What is the probability of flipping 3 coins and not getting 2
(Enter the final answer only. Use
heads? P(x + 2) = 6
decimal form of the probability. Do not round.)
