Probability of a head when a coin is thrown:

\frac{1}{2}

For multiple independent trials

P (x) = n C x \cdot p^{x} \cdot (1 - p)^{n - x}

number of trials

n = 7

number of successes

x = 3

probability of success in any one trial

p = \frac{1}{2}

P (3) = 7 C 3 (\frac{1}{2})^{3} (1 - \frac{1}{2})^{7 - 3}

7 C 3 = 35

= 35 (\frac{1}{2})^{3} (\frac{1}{2})^{4}

35 (\frac{1}{2})^{3} (\frac{1}{2})^{4} = \frac{35}{128}

= \frac{35}{128}
