Here's the Solution to this Question

This is a binomial distribution with n=3,p=\frac{1}{2}.

Sample space: {(H,H,H),(H,H,T),(H,T,H),(T,H,H),(H,T,T),(H,T,T),(T,H,T),(T,T,H),(T,T,T)}.

P(X=0)=C_3^0(\frac{1}{2})^0(\frac{1}{2})^3=\frac{1}{8}.

P(X=1)=C_3^1(\frac{1}{2})^1(\frac{1}{2})^2=\frac{3}{8}.

P(X=2)=C_3^2(\frac{1}{2})^2(\frac{1}{2})^1=\frac{3}{8}.

P(X=3)=C_3^3(\frac{1}{2})^3(\frac{1}{2})^0=\frac{1}{8}.
