1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The possibilty of getting tails in one flip is 1/2, and there are three events, so that's 1/2 three times. To find the probability of multiple independent events occurring, you would multiply them together, so in this case you would do: 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 which equals 1/8.
