To determine whether the events A, B, and C form a set of mutually exclusive and exhaustive events when a coin is tossed three times, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Sample Space When a coin is tossed three times, the sample space (S) consists of all possible outcomes. The outcomes can be represented as: - HHH (3 heads) - HHT (2 heads, 1 tail) - HTH (2 heads, 1 tail) - THH (2 heads, 1 tail) ...
