If you flip a coin three times, what is the probability (represented in percent) of getting three heads?

Question

If you flip a coin three times, what is the probability (represented in percent) of getting three heads?

Answer 1

Flipping a coin is an independent event, meaning the probability of getting heads or tails does not depend on the previous flip. It's 1/2 or 0.5 chance every time.

 

So three coin flips would be = (0.5)*(0.5)*(0.5)

 

= 0.125

× 100%

= 12.5% chance
