Answer:

(a) 1/2

(b) 1/2

(c) 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, when a fair coin is tossed three times,

The the total number of possible outcomes

n(S) = 2 × 2 × 2

= 8 { HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT },

Here, B : { At least two heads are observed } ,

⇒ B = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH},

⇒ n(B) = 4,

Since,

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favourable outcomes}}{\text{Total outcomes}}

(a) So, the probability of B,

P(B) =\frac{n(B)}{n(S)}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

(b) A : { At least one head is observed },

⇒ A = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH},

∵ A ∩ B = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH},

n(A∩ B) = 4,

\implies P(A\cap B) = \frac{n(A\cap B)}{n(S)} = \frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

(c) C: { The number of heads observed is odd },

⇒ C = { HHH, HTT, THT, TTH},

∵ A ∩ B ∩ C = {HHH},

⇒ n(A ∩ B ∩ C) = 1,

\implies P(A\cap B\cap C)=\frac{1}{8}
