Suppose you flip a coin three times.
What is the probability of getting exactly one heads?
i forgot to take in the plain fact that each coin is different from the other's, and is therefore a different anomaly.
so therefore the probability of getting 1 head and 2 tails is
3/8 or 37.5%
because there are a total of 8 possibille coin flip combinations,
they are as follows:
HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH& TTT.
only 3 of these are the ones we're looking for
HTT, TTH& THT.
so the answer is
3/8 or 37.5%
