Gitta is asked to find the probability of getting all heads on 3 coin tosses. This is a compound event.
2 answers:
1. P(getting all head)=
2. Event: getting all head can happen in only one way: HHH
3. n(Sample space) can be calculated by
a. counting, a good ways to organize counting is drawing a tree diagram, CHECK THE PICTURE
or
b. There are 2 possible outcomes each time we throw the dice so 2*2*2=8 is the total number of outcomes, that is the number of the sample space.
4. So finally P(getting all head)=
