Answer:
Possible outcomes in tossing a coin one time - Heads(H), Tails(T)
Possibles outcomes in tossing a coin three times – HHH, TTT, HHT, TTH, HTH, THH, THT, HTT
If getting the same outcome in all the three tosses is the success then :-
Probability of success = P(S) = number of favourable (HHH, TTT) =2 outcomes/number of total outcomes = 8= 2/8= 1/4
Hence, Probability of losing the game = 1 - P(S) = 1 - 1/4 =3/4
