Three coins are tossed simultaneously : ...

Three coins are tossed simultaneously :
(i) P is the event of getting at least two heads.
(ii) Q is the event of getting a tail on the second coin.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Three coins are tossed.
`therefore` the sample space is
`S={HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HT T, THT, T TH, T T T }`
`thereforen(S)=8.`
(i) P is the event of getting at least two hwads.
`thereforeP={HHH, HHT, HTH, THH} therefore n(P)=4.`
(ii) Q is the event of getting a tail on the second coin.
`thereforeQ+{HTH, HT T, T TH, T T T}thereforen(Q)_=4.`
