Lets denote HH after getting heads and TT after getting tails as toss a result. Then after tossing 33 coins we will get following probable cases,
S={HHH,HHT,HTH,THH,HTT,THT,TTH,TTT}
and chances of getting at least one tail if one of following case occurs
ST={HHT,HTH,THH,HTT,THT,TTH,TTT}.
Therefore, probability of getting at least one tail after tossing 3 coins is (|S||St|)=78.
