The theoretical probability of getting heads would be
((1)/(8))^5^0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

number of coins, x = 3

Number of times, n = 50

Probability of getting all heads = ?

We know:

Probability of getting a head in a coin in a single toss is
(1)/(2)

Probability of getting a head in a coin in 3 tosses is
(1)/(2) X (1)/(2) X(1)/(2)

= 1/8

If the coin is tossed 50 times, then the theoretical probability of getting heads would be
((1)/(8))^5^0
