Consider the following sequences obtained by tosses of coins for heads (H) or tails (T)

1. H-T-H-T-T-H
2. H-H-H-T-T-T
3. H-H-H-H-T-H

which sequence is more likely to be the outcome of tossing a fair coin 6 times ?

is it 1 , 2 , 3 ?

or are all equally likely ??

Thanks for any help !!!

They all have the same probability of occurring so they are all equally likely.
