A coin is flipped three times.

Question

What is the probability that the result is tails all three times?

 

A) 0.125

B) 0.167

C) 0.25

D) 0.50

Answer 1

Each flip of the coin is independent of the others. Thus, the probability of flipping a tail and a tail and a tail, all in a row, is 0.5*0.5*0.5=0.125 or "A"
