The possible outcomes when a coin is thrown three times are

2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2

Therefore, the number of possible outcomes:

2^{3}

Find the number of favorable outcomes of to the nearest thousandth of getting exactly 1 tails:

3

Probability

= \frac{number of favorable outcomes}{total number of outcomes}

= \frac{3}{2 ^{3}}

2^{3} = 8

= \frac{3}{8}
