Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The possible outcomes will be HHH, TTT, HTT, THT, TTH, THH, HTH, HHT. So the total number of outcomes is 23 = 8. The above explanation will help us to solve the problems of finding the probability of tossing three coins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: If you flip a coin 3 times the probability of getting 3 heads is 0.125. When you flip a coin 3 times, then all the possibe 8 outcomes are HHH, THH, HTH, HHT, TTH, THT, HTT, TTT.
