Probability of tails on each toss = 1/2
Probability of tails on 3 consecutive tosses = (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/8
Probability of NOT 3 consecutive tails = (1) minus (probability of 3 consecutive tails) = 7/8 = 87.5%

What is the probility that three tails come up on a throw of three dimes?
(1/2)3 = 1/8.
What is the probability that the fourth toss is tails?
1/2. What the previous tosses are has no impact on what a fourth toss of a coin is, so the chance of getting a tails is the same on any throw.
What are the chances of getting tails at least twice if you throw a coin four times?
.5 or 50% probability (if not counting draws)
What is the probability of a coin landing on heads twice when it is flipped 3 times?
Your question is slightly vague, so I will pose a more defined question: What is the probability of 3 coin tosses resulting in heads exactly twice? This is a pretty easy question to answer. The three possible (winning) outcomes are: 1. Heads, Heads, Tails. 2. Heads, Tails, Heads. 3. Tails, Heads, Heads. If we look at the possible combination of other (losing) outcomes, we can easily determine the probability: 4. Heads, Heads, Heads. 5. Tails, Tails, Heads. 6. Tails, Heads, Tails. 7. Heads, Tails, Tails. 8. Tails, Tails, Tails. This means that to throw heads twice in 3 flips, we have a 3 in 8 chance. This is because there are 3 winning possibilities out of a total of 8 winning and losing possibilities.
What is the probability of rolling a dice 7?
With a single throw of a normal die, the probability is 0.With a single throw of a normal die, the probability is 0.With a single throw of a normal die, the probability is 0.With a single throw of a normal die, the probability is 0.
What are the odds in favor of getting at least one head in 3 consecutive flips of a coin?
>>> 1:7 (or, if you like probability, 87.5%)I disagree. There are four possible combinations of three tosses (where order does not matter):HHHHHTHTTTTTThree of these combinations will show at least one head - only by throwing three tails will you not throw at least one head.Thus, the probability of throwing at least one head in three flips is 75%.
With two dice what is the probability to throw a 2 three times in a row?
(1/36)3
What is the probability tossing 3 nickels?
Depends on how many nickels you have. If you have less than three nickels the probability is zero. If not, 100% (should you decide to throw them).
Three dice are throw and observe a number on top of each face.what is the probability that all three numbers are different?
It is 0.55... recurring.
What is the probability that a 41 percent free-throw shooter will miss her next free -throw?
If she is a 41% shooter she will probably score a goal 41 times out of a hundred, but she will probably miss the other 59 times out of a hundred. So the probability that she will miss is 59 out of 100 = 59% = 0.59
What is the probability of scoring 8 at the throw of a dice?
If using a normal cube, the probability is 0.
