Question

A fair coin is tossed three time sin succession. the set of equally likely outcomes is {hhh,hht,hth,thh,htt,tht,tth,ttt}. find the probabilty of getting exactly zero tails

Answer 1

There are 8 possible outcomes so that means the probability will have a denominator of 8.

Now, there is only one of the eight outcomes that has zero tails.

Therefore the probability of getting zero tails after tossing a fair coin three times in succession is

​
$\frac{1}{8}$
