Probability can be defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to an event's total number of outcomes.

Or in simple words, we can say that Probability is the likelihood or chances of the occurrence of the event.

If three coins are tossed,

Total number of possible combinations = 23 = 8

The combinations are HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, TTH, THT, HTT, TTT.

Number of combinations that have two heads and one tail = 3, i.e., HHT, HTH, TTH 

The probability of two heads and one tail when three coins are tossed simultaneously are

P (Two heads and One tail) = Number of desired outcomes

= ⅜ or 0.375

Therefore, when asked, Three coins are tossed at once. What is the probability of two heads and one tail? then the answer will be that the probability of two heads and one tail is ⅜ or 0.375.

Summary:

Three coins are tossed at once. What is the probability of two heads and one tail?

Three coins are tossed at once. The probability of two heads and one tail is ⅜ or 0.375.
