Adventures With 3 Coin Flips. Part 6: Probabilities
In Part 5, we found that there are 6,435 possible outcomes for the complete characterization of a process of repeating three coin flips. This arises because a 3-flip sequence must be repeated eight times to allow for the possibility of all eight equally probable sequence results occurring. In this article, we calculate the probability of obtaining any individual outcome and also the probability of obtaining an outcome of each of the 22 outcome types.
