Question

Consider the following. (Assume that the coins are distinguishable and that what is observed are the faces or numbers that face up.) Three coins are tossed; the result is at most one tail. What sets of elements are included in the sample space?

Answer 1

Answer:

a)  $P($

b)  $n=(HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT).$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

3 coin are tossed

Therefore

Sample space $n=(HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT).$

Generally the sets that correspond with the result of at most one tail is therefore given as follows

$P($

Therefore

The result is at most one tail when

$P($
