A coin is tossed three times. What is the probability of tossing three heads in a row?

Answer 1

To find the probability of tossing three heads in a row, we need to know the probability of getting a head on each individual toss.

Since there are two possible outcomes when tossing a coin (heads or tails) and assuming the coin is fair, the probability of getting a head on one toss is 1/2.

Since each toss is independent of the others, we can multiply the probabilities together to find the probability of getting three heads in a row:

(1/2) * (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/8

So, the probability of tossing three heads in a row is 1/8 or 0.125, which is 12.5%.
