étapes des solutions

The possible outcomes when a coin is thrown three times are

2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2

Therefore, the number of possible outcomes:

2^{3}

Find the number of favorable outcomes of we get the head at least 2 times:

4

Probability

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

= \frac{4}{2 ^{3}}

\frac{4}{2 ^{3}} = \frac{1}{2}

= \frac{1}{2}
