A coin is tossed. Find the total number of elementary events and also the total number events associated with the random experiment.

Open in App

Solution

Since a coin is tossed, so the total number of elementary events is
S = {H, T}

$\Rightarrow$ n(s)= 2

Also, the total no. of events

= {H}, {T}, {H, T}, {T, H}

=4
