For any given kitten, there are two possibilities, male or female. By rule, then given two kittens, there are four possible outcomes, MM, MF, FM, or FF. This is 2^2. So, for three kittens, there is 2^3 possible combinations, only one of which is all female. So, the probability of all three kittens being female is 1:8.
