There are a total of 8 possible outcomes, from:
Lose - Lose - Lose (LLL), to:
Win - Win - Win (WWW).
There are 3 ways for you to win ONLY 1 event:
WLL , LWL , LLW .
So your chances of winning 1 event is 3 out of 8.
37.5%

They are independent events.
The problability of not winning any event
p(L)
equals
p(L and L and L)= .5 * .5 * .5=.125
using a little bit of logic if you take the oppisite of the you'll get
p(W or W or W)
this is what we are looking for.
so 1- .125 = .875
