Question 1185700: A coin is to be flipped three times. List the possible outcomes in the form (result on toss 1, result on toss 2,
result on toss 3).
E. In item D, assume that each one of the outcomes has probability 1/8 of occurring. Find the probability of
a. A: Observing exactly 1 head
b. B: Observing 1 or more heads
c. C: Observing no heads
F. Determine the following conditional probabilities for the events of item E.
a. P(A|B)
b. P(A|C)
c. P(B|C)

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.
