This is very basic but I am getting confused by the concepts.
If a fair coin is flipped three times, what is the probability that it
comes up heads all three times?
So the way I understand it, P of getting tails is 1/2*1/2*1/2=1/8
Because each event is independent from one another, I calculate the probability of getting heads as 1-1/8=7/8 but the right answer is 1/8....
What am I doing wrong?
