We will flip a balanced coin 3 times and for each toss, record whether we get a Head or a Tail. Write all possible outcomes of this experiment to find the probability that we get exactly 2 heads.
Group of answer choices:
a. 1/8
b. 1/3
c. 3/8
d. 2/3

Since each coin can have 2 outcomes (head and tail), and for each of them, second coin has 2 outcome and same for 3rd coin, thus, we have in total [tex]2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8[/tex]

Since we need exactly 2 heads, thus, total cases are:

(H,H,T), (H,T,H), (T,H,H)

(total 3 cases)

Thus, the probability for needed event is:

[tex]p = \dfrac{\text{Count of favorable cases}}{\text{Count of total cases}} = \dfrac{3}{8}[/tex]

Thus,

The probability of getting exactly two heads is given by

Option C : 3/8
