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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The sample space `S` when a coin is tossed three times is,
`S={(H,H,H),(H,H,T),(H,T,H),(H,T,T),(T,H,H),(T,H,T),(T,T,H),(T,T,T)}`
Here, the number of elements in the sample space `S` is,
`n(S)=6`
`(i)` `E` stands for "Head on third toss", i.e.,
`E={(H,H,H),(H,T,H),(T,H,H),(T,T,H)}`
And, `F` stands for "heads on first two tosses", i.e.,
`F={(H,H,H),(H,H,T)}`
