You have a coin which is loaded so that the probability of tossing heads is 0.45. If you toss the coin three times, what is the probability that you will obtain three tails? Round your answer correct to three decimal places.
------------------
P(heads) = 0.45
P(tails) = 0.55
---
P(3 tails) = 0.55^3 = 0.1664
