Probability

A man had 4 coins, some worth $2 and some worth $1. Each coin had a number on one side and a picture on the other. The man flipped them, and the sum of the numbers showing on top was 1. The probability of this happening was 1/8. What was the probability that if the man flipped the coins, he would get a sum of 3 on top?

Final Answer:

p₃ =  0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} n=4 \\ {p}_1=\frac{2}{2^4}=\frac{1}{8}=0.125 \\ {p}_3=\frac{4}{2^4}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25 \end{gathered}$$
