A coin is tossed three times. Find `P(E//F)` in each of the following: (i) `E=` Head on the third toss, `F=` Heads on first two tosses (ii) `E=` At least two heads, `F=` At most two heads (iii) `E=` At most two tails, `F=` At least one tail

(i) `E = {HHH, HTH,THH, (T,TH)}`
`F = {HHH, HHT}`
`P(E/F)=frac{P(EnnF)}{P(F)}=frac{1/8}{2/8}`

(ii) `E = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH}`
`F = {HHT, HTH, HT T, THH,THT, T TH, T T T}`
`P(E/F)=frac{P(EnnF)}{P(F)}=frac{3/8}{7/8}=frac{3}{7}`

(iii) `E = {HHH, HHT, HT T, HTH, THH, THT, T TH}`
`F = {HHT, HT T, HTH, THH, THT, T TH, T T T}`
