(1/2)^3 = 1/8
In general it is like this (p/n)^t. Where n is the number of equally possible outcomes (2 since you can get heads or tails), p is the number of desired outcomes (1 since you only are concerned with heads), and t is the number of trials (3 in this case).
One caveat to this is that it does not factor in initial conditions. Although very slight you have a better chance of getting heads when the coin is flipped from a position where heads is up. You have less chance of getting heads when the coin is flipped from the tails-up position. This effect is decreased the more the coin flips before landing.

What is the probability of flipping a coin 3 times and getting 3 heads?
The probability of flipping a coin 3 times and getting 3 heads is 1/2
What is the probability of flipping a coin three times and it landing on heads all three times?
1/8. The probability of flipping a coin three times and it landing on head is 1/2, as a coin only has two sides. You flip a coin three times, therefore the answer is (1/2)^3 = 1/8.
What is the probability of flipping a coin 4 times and it landing on heads each time?
p(heads)= 0.5 p(heads)^4= 0.0625
What is the probability of flipping a coin and getting heads 7 times in a row?

What is the probability of flipping 25 heads in a row?
The best way to think about this is the following way: What is the probability of flipping heads once? 1/2 What is the probability of flipping heads twice? 1/4 (1/2 * 1/2) Using this we can derive the equation to find the probability of flipping heads any number of times. 1/2n Using this we plug in 25 for n and get 1/225 or as a decimal 2.98023224 x 10-8 or as odds 1:33,554,432
The probability of flipping a coin three times and getting two heads is?
There are 8 permutations of flipping a coin 3 times, or of flipping 3 coins one time. They are, with the permutations of two heads bolded...TTTTTHTHTTHHHTTHTHHHTHHH... thus, the probability of flipping a coin 3 times and getting 2 heads is 3 in 8, or 0.375.

Probability to get exactly 2 heads when flipping a coin 3 times?
The probability of throwing exactly 2 heads in three flips of a coin is 3 in 8, or 0.375. There are 8 outcomes of flipping a coin 3 times, HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, and TTT. Of those outcomes, 3 contain two heads, so the answer is 3 in 8.
What is the probability of flipping a coin 4 times and getting 4 heads?
You still still have a 1:2 chance of getting heads regardless of the times you flip.
What is the probability of flipping 4 times and landing on heads each time?
The probability of heads is 0.5 each time.The probability of four times is (0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5 x 0.5) = 0.0625 = 1/16 = 6.25% .
What is the theoretical probability of flipping a coin 60 times?
Theoretical is 50% Heads, 50% tails: 30-Heads, 30-Tails (theoretical)
