Answer:
The probability is 1/8 or 0.125
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are concerned with calculating the probability that when a coin is flipped there would be a show of heads three times.
In flipping of a coin, there are only two possible results with equal probability. The probability of both events i.e P(H) and P(T) is equal and that is 1/2
Thus the probability of getting heads three times in a row will be P(HHH) meaning P(H) and another P(H) and another P(H)
When we have and in a probability question, that means we are to multiply the probabilities together.
Hence, P(HHH) = 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8
