Answer

Step-by-step explanation

Given:

You flip a coin 3 times.

To determine the tree diagram to see all of the possible outcomes when you flip a coin 3 times, we first note that we can get either Heads or Tails. So the tree diagrams is shown below:

The possible outcomes would be:

HHH, HHT,HTH,HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT

We can notice that there are 8 possible outcomes. But, the number of cases to get exactly 3 heads is just 1.

Hence, the probability of getting 3 heads is:

Probability = 1/8 =0.125

Therefore, the probability that you flip a heads all 3 times is 0.125.
