If you flip 3 coins what are the odds that they all land same side up?

Ok, I'm admittedly not a probability geek, but here is my reasoning... if you flip two coins there are only two possibilities... alike or different, and that's 1 in 2 or 50/50 odds. When you add the third coin it's automatically going to match at least one of the other two... unless the other two were alike and it falls differently. so it does decrease the probability of all matching, and there are three opportunities for one of the coins to be different. So I say it's 1 in 3.

The probability of the coin landing "head" side up is 50/50, meaning it could land "head" side up or "tail" side up. The odds of any single coin flip are always the same, no matter what happened on the previous tosses -- provided the coin is not a "double-head" (or "double-tail") "trick" coin

1 out of 4, or 25% ChanceHHHHHTHTHHTTTHHTHTTTHTTTThere is only 3 coins, with 2 possible sides that they could land on, 8 possible outcomes, but with HHH and TTT both considered as the same side, that means there is 2 different out comes that are on the same side.

Suppose six coins are flipped then the probality of getting at least one tail?

What are the odds of coin flip having the same results 8 times in a row?
1 in 27, or 1 in 128, or 0.0078125. Note: the stated equation is 1 in 27, not 1 in 28, because the question said "same results 8 times in a row". If the question said "heads, 8 times in a row", then the answer would be 1 in 28, but since it said "same results", you have to consider that the second through the eighth flip must match the first flip, and that is 1 in 27.

What is the probability of getting three heads if you flip four coins?
75% is not correct. The odds of flipping 4 independent coins is the same as flipping one coin 4 times. The number of outcomes of 4 flips is 2^4 or 16. The number of ways to exactly get 3 Heads is 4 (THHH, HTHH, HHTH, HHHT) so your chance of flipping 3 heas is 4/16 or 25%. If you include the occurance that produced 4 of 4 Heads, then you get 5/16 or 31.25%.
