<p>anyone.....c'mon i know some of u guys are out there</p>

<p>Their are 32 possible outcomes of heads and tails if a coin is flipped five times. </p>

<p>The number of possible ways to get 3 tails and 2 heads will be 5C3, or 5C2 (both are equal to 10). </p>

<p>The probability then, is 10/32. </p>

<p>Correct?</p>
