You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a) There are 2 possible outcomes on each flip, and 2%5E3 outcomes on 3 flips, so the sample space is :
{HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}
b) Not sure what the question is, do you mean 2%5E3=+8 possible outcomes?
c) Three heads can happen in 1 way, divide this by the number in (b) to get the probability.
d) Exactly two tails can happen in 3 ways. Again, divide by number in (b).
e) Left as an exercise.
f) Left as an exercise.
