The probability of gettign either heads or tails on each flip in 1/2.
So you have a 1/2 chance of getting heads on your first flip
and you have a 1/2 chance of getting heads on your second flip
and you have a 1/2 chance of getting heads on your third flip...
To do this probability problem you will multiply
So there is a 1/8 chance of getting heads on all three flips of the coin
