Answer:

Option 1 -
$\text{Probability}=(1)/(4)$

Explanation:

Given : Matrix tossed three coins .

To find : What is the probability that all three coins will land on the same side?

Solution :

When we tossed three coins together the number of outcomes will be -

(TTT, TTH, THT, THH, HTT, HTH, HHT, HHH)

Total number of outcomes = 8

Favorable outcomes getting all three coins will land on the same side is (HHH, TTT) = 2

$\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

$\text{Probability}=(2)/(8)$

$\text{Probability}=(1)/(4)$

Therefore, Option 1 is correct.
