We know that,

Probability of occurrence of an event 

  = \(\frac{Total\,no.of\,Desired\,outcomes}{Total\,no.of\,outcomes}\) 

Let T be tails and H be heads 

Total possible outcomes = TTT, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, HTH, HHT, HHH 

Desired outcomes are exactly two tails. So, desired outputs are TTH, THT, HTT 

Total no. of outcomes are 8 and desired outcomes are 3 

Therefore, the probability of getting exactly 2 tails = \(\frac{3}{8}\)

Conclusion: Probability of getting exactly two tails is \(\frac{3}{8}\)
