To solve the problem of describing various events when three coins are tossed, we first need to establish the sample space. The sample space consists of all possible outcomes when three coins are tossed. The outcomes are: 1. HHH (all heads) 2. HHT (two heads, one tail) 3. HTH (two heads, one tail) 4. THH (two heads, one tail) 5. HTT (one head, two tails) 6. THT (one head, two tails) ...
