The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the probability of getting no head when three coins are tossed simultaneously, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the total number of outcomes When three coins are tossed, each coin has 2 possible outcomes: Head (H) or Tail (T). Therefore, the total number of outcomes when tossing three coins can be calculated using the formula for the total outcomes of independent events: \[ \text{Total outcomes} = 2^n \] where \( n \) is the number of coins. Here, \( n = 3 \): \[ \text{Total outcomes} = 2^3 = 8 \]
