Answer: 1/8
=====================================================
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming a fair coin, the probability of getting tails is 1/2. The probability of getting three tails in a row is (1/2)^3 = (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2) = 1/8
Put another way, there are 8 possible outcomes when flipping three coins. Those outcomes are:
- HHH
- HHT
- HTH
- HTT
- THH
- THT
- TTH
- TTT
We see that only one occurrence of TTT shows up out of the eight possible outcomes; therefore, the probability of getting TTT is 1/8
