how do i do this?
A nickle, dime, and quarter are tossed. What is the probability that the nickel and dime will show heads and the quarter will show tails? What is the probability that only one of the coins will show tails?
Hey its easy identify all the possibilties fo all the coins.
YUU WILL GET
HHH HHT THH HTT TTT HTH THT TTH
WHERE H= HEADS N T= TAILS...
you can see there's only 1 possibility out of 8 that the first two will show tails n d last one a head n the probablity that only 1 coin show tails is 3/8
