The answer is :$frac{7}{8}$.



I don't understand why. What are the possible cases and what are the favorable ones?

There are three possibilities: T, HT, HHT with probabilities $1/2$, $1/2cdot1/2$, and $1/2cdot1/2cdot1/2$, resp. They sum up to $7/8$.

    You will need more than three throws only when head comes out thrice.



    Hence



    $$p=1-frac1{2^3}.$$



    More generally,



    $$p=1-frac1{2^n}$$ for the probability of making at most $n$ throws.

      Let $T$ be the event that a tail is obtained within 3 flips. We want to find $pr(T)$. It is a bit difficult to compute this because we have to consider obtaining tails within 1 flip, 2 flips, AND 3 flips, to which there is overlap. It is a bit easier to compute $pr(T')$ or the probability $T$ does not happen.



      For event $T'$ to occur, we would need to not obtain tails within 3 flips, i.e. get heads three times in a row. Since the probability of throwing heads is $frac{1}{2}$, getting three heads in a row is $frac{1}{2^3}=frac{1}{8}$. Hence, $pr(T')=frac{1}{8}$. Since any given event either happens or doesn't, we have in general for event $A$, $$pr(A')=1-pr(A).$$ Therefore,
      $$frac{1}{8}=pr(T')=1-pr(T)implies pr(T)=1-frac{1}{8}=frac{7}{8}$$.

        A really simple way to see this is just to list out all the possible outcomes of flipping a coin three times. There are only $8$ of them:
        $$ HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT$$



        Because the coin flips are independent of each other, each of these combinations are equally likely. So the probability of each is $frac 18$. As you can see, $7$ of them include at least one tail, so the probability of getting a tails in three coin tosses is $frac 78$.

          That doesn't matter. What you do after finding your tail isn't going to change the probability that you found it in the first place. So, even though there is no particular reason for you to keep flipping after you get a tail, pretend that you do so anyway. You get this scenario, and find that your probability was $7/8$. That holds even though some of the sequences contain unnecessary flips.

          As for 3 flips, that is because your question is about 3 flips. It also doesn't matter to that question how many more times you flip the coin after those three flips are over. Their outcome is already decided.

                                A really simple way to see this is just to list out all the possible outcomes of flipping a coin three times. There are only $8$ of them:
                                $$ HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT$$



                                Because the coin flips are independent of each other, each of these combinations are equally likely. So the probability of each is $frac 18$. As you can see, $7$ of them include at least one tail, so the probability of getting a tails in three coin tosses is $frac 78$.

                                  That doesn't matter. What you do after finding your tail isn't going to change the probability that you found it in the first place. So, even though there is no particular reason for you to keep flipping after you get a tail, pretend that you do so anyway. You get this scenario, and find that your probability was $7/8$. That holds even though some of the sequences contain unnecessary flips.

                                  As for 3 flips, that is because your question is about 3 flips. It also doesn't matter to that question how many more times you flip the coin after those three flips are over. Their outcome is already decided.
