A fair coin is tossed three times in succession. The set of equally likely outcomes is {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}. Find the probability of getting exactly two heads out of three tosses.

If a fair coin is tossed three times, sample = 2^3 = 8 (hhh, hht, hth, thh, htt, tht, tth, ttt) where h=head and t=tail.

Probability of getting one:

Outcomes with one head (h) = 3

P(1 h) = 3/8 = 0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
