The possible outcomes when a coin is thrown

5

times are

2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2

Therefore, the number of possible outcomes:

2^{5}

Find the number of favorable outcomes of getting exactly 3 heads:

10

Probability

= \frac{number of favorable outcomes}{total number of outcomes}

= \frac{10}{2 ^{5}}

\frac{10}{2 ^{5}} = \frac{5}{16}

= \frac{5}{16}
