The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the probability of getting at least one head when tossing three fair coins, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Sample Space When tossing three coins, each coin has two possible outcomes: Heads (H) or Tails (T). Therefore, the total number of outcomes when tossing three coins can be calculated as: \[ \text{Total Outcomes} = 2^n \] where \( n \) is the number of coins. Here, \( n = 3 \): \[ \text{Total Outcomes} = 2^3 = 8 \] #
