Final answer:

The sample space for flipping three fair coins is {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space for flipping three fair coins is {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}. Here, H represents heads and T represents tails. Each element in the sample space represents the outcome of the three coin flips. For example, HHT means the first coin landed on heads, the second coin landed on heads, and the third coin landed on tails.
