The coin is thrown 5 times. Find the probability of 3 times hitting heads.

Let’s find the probability using the Bernoulli formula. For a symmetric coin, the probability of an event A such that heads will come out is equal to the probability of the opposite event such that tails will come up:
p = q = 0.5;
P (A) = C (5,3) p ^ 3 q ^ 2;
C (5.3) = 5! / (3! 2!) = 4 5/2 = 10;
P (A) = 10 0.5 ^ 3 0.5 ^ 2 = 0.3125.
Answer: The probability of hitting heads three times is 0.3125.
