Hi
Three coins are tossed
(a) Determine the number of points in the sample space: = 8
(b) Construct a tree diagram and list the sample space
HHH, HHT,HTH, THH, TTT, TTH, HTT, THT
(c) P( least two heads are tossed)= P(2) + P(3) = 3/8 + 1/8 = 4/8 = 1/2
(d) P(≤ four head is tossed) = 1 = P(0) + P(1) + P(2) + P(3)
