Describe the sample space for the indicated experiment : A coin is tossed three times

Open in App

Solution

A coin has two faces : head $(H)$ and tail $(T)$
When a coin is tossed three times the total number of possible outcomes is $2^{3} = 8$
Thus when a coin is tossed three times the sample space is given by :
$S$ $= {H H H, H H T, H T H, H T T, T H H, T H T, T T H, T T T}$
