प्रश्न
If a coin is tossed three times (or three coins are tossed together), then describe the sample space for this experiment.
उत्तर
A coin has two faces: a head (H) and a tail (T).
When a coin is tossed three times, the total number of possible outcomes is 23 = 8.
Thus, when a coin is tossed three times, the sample space is given by S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}.
