I have an unfair coin that lands as head with probability of 23. If I flip the coin 5 times, what is the probability that I get exactly two heads?

Yes that is the answer!

 

10×(23)2×(13)3=40243=0.1646090534979424

If the probability of getting a head is 2/3, then the probability of getting a tail is 1/3.

Wanting 2 heads on 5 tosses is a combinations problem:  5C2·(2/3)2·(1/3)   =  10·(2/3)2·(1/3)
