Given data:

The numbers of times coin flipped is n=3.

The sample space is,

[tex]S=\mleft\lbrace(\text{HHH}\mright),\text{ (HHT), (HTH), (HTT), (THH), (THT), (TTH), (TTT)}\}[/tex]

The expression for the probability of getting exactly 2 times tail is,

[tex]P(2T)=\frac{3}{8}[/tex]

Thus, the probability of getting exactly 2 times tail is 3/8.
