A coin is tossed 3 times. What is the probability of getting 3 tails in a row?

The answer I'm editing says the odds are 1 in 8. This is true only if you actually mean the probability of getting 3 tails in a row, rather than just 3 of either heads or tails in a row. In mentioned case, the first flip doesn't matter which side it lands on, just the proceeding two flips do. So, the odds of flipping a coin three times with the same outcome are 1 in 2^2 or 1 in 4. The odds of flipping three tails in a row are 1 in 2^3 or 1 in 8.


What does odds in favor mean?

Saying that the odds of something occurring are a to b (or a:b) means that we expect the event to occur a times for every b times it does not occur. For instance, the odds of drawing tails on a coin flip are 1 to 1, so if we repeat the experiment a very large number of times, we will have 1 occurrence of "tails" for every occurrence of "heads". The odds of getting a 5 on a dice roll are 1:5, and so on.
