The possible outcomes when a coin is thrown

7

times are

2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2

Therefore, the number of possible outcomes:

2^{7}

Find the number of favorable outcomes of all tosses will be tails:

1

Probability

= \frac{number of favorable outcomes}{total number of outcomes}

= \frac{1}{2 ^{7}}

2^{7} = 128

= \frac{1}{128}
