Step 1
Since we only have three throws it will be easier to list all possibilities, of 1st, 2nd and 3rd throws
H = head
T = Tail
H H H
H H T
H T H
T H H
TTH
THT
HTT
TTT
Step 2
Eight possibilities in all, and the requirement of at least two heads is shown in blue
X = number of heads
P ( X 2 ) = 4 8 = 1 2
