In this particular question we have to make the cases to find the probability,

The possible outcome when a coin is tossed 3 times =

{HHH,TTT,HHT,HTH,THH,TTH,TTH,HTT}

From the above cases,

Total number of possible cases = 8

possible outcomes of winning =2

So the possible outcomes of losing = 8-2 =6

Hence the required probability = 6/8= 3/4.
