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

Answer:
Recall that a relation is an <em>equivalence relation</em> if and only if is symmetric, reflexive and transitive. In order to simplify the notation we will use A↔B when A is in relation with B.
<em>Reflexive: </em>We need to prove that A↔A. Let us write J for the identity matrix and recall that J is invertible. Notice that . Thus, A↔A.
<em>Symmetric</em>: We need to prove that A↔B implies B↔A. As A↔B there exists an invertible matrix P such that . In this equality we can perform a right multiplication by
and obtain
. Then, in the obtained equality we perform a left multiplication by P and get
. If we write
and
we have
. Thus, B↔A.
<em>Transitive</em>: We need to prove that A↔B and B↔C implies A↔C. From the fact A↔B we have and from B↔C we have
. Now, if we substitute the last equality into the first one we get
.
Recall that if P and Q are invertible, then QP is invertible and . So, if we denote R=QP we obtained that
. Hence, A↔C.
Therefore, the relation is an <em>equivalence relation</em>.
