a. A: Observing exactly 1 head
b. B: Observing 1 or more heads

Here are the possible outcomes from three tosses of a coin:



HHH    3 heads

HHT    2 heads

HTH    2 heads

HTT    1 head

THH    2 heads

THT    1 head

TTH    1 head

TTT    0 heads



You should now be able to do E (a) through (c), then post again if F gives you problems.
