Calculate the probability of the following coin flip

HTT

HeadsTailsTails

Coin Toss Probability Formula

Probability of each coin toss is 1/2, so we have:

P(HTT)  =  1 x 1 x 1
  2 x 2 x 2

P(HTT)  =  1
  8

P(HTT) = 0.125

Coin Toss Probability Formula

Probability of each coin toss is 1/2, so we have:

P(THT)  =  1 x 1 x 1
  2 x 2 x 2

P(THT)  =  1

Coin Toss Probability Formula

Probability of each coin toss is 1/2, so we have:

P(TTH)  =  1 x 1 x 1
  2 x 2 x 2

P(TTH)  =  1

P(TTH) = 0.125


Calculate final probability:

P(HTT + THT + TTH)  =  1 + 1 + 1
