Question
Complete the following table.
| Sr. No. | Random experiment | Sample space | Number of sample points in S |
| 1. | One coin is tossed. | S = {H, T} | n(S) = `square` |
| 2. | Two coins are tossed. | S = `square` | n(S) = `square` |
| 3. | Three coins are tossed. | S = {`square`, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT} | n (S) = 8 |
| 4. | A die is thrown. | S = `square` | n(S) = `square` |
Solution
