Solution:

A coin is flipped three times,resulting three heads in a row.

Since Steve has mentioned that , each flip of a coin is unconnected to the previous flip.

Two or more events are said to be independent if occurrence of one of them is not affected by the Occurrence of other.

This is an example of independent events.

In terms of probability, P (A∩B∩C)= P(A)×P(B)×P(C)
