Three coins are tossed once. Find the probability of getting $3 $ heads
When three coins are tossed once, the sample space is given by $S =\{ HHH , HHT , HTH , THH , HTT , THT , TTH , TTT \}$
$\therefore$ Accordingly, $n ( S )=8$
It is known that the probability of an event $A$ is given by
$P ( A )=\frac{\text { Number of outcomes favourable to } A }{\text { Total number of possible outcomes }}=\frac{n( A )}{n( S )}$
Let $B$ be the event of the occurrence of $3$ heads. Accordingly, $B=\{H H H\}$
$\therefore $ $P(B)=\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}=\frac{1}{8}$
