Question
If two coins are tossed, find the probability of event getting head on both the coins
Solution
Sample space,
S = {HH, HT, TH, TT}
∴ n(S) = 4
Let A be the event of getting head on both the coins.
∴ A = {HH}
∴ n(A) = 1
∴ P(A) = `("n"("A"))/("n"("S"))`
∴ P(A) = `1/4`

Event A: it is coffee chocolate.
Activity: Let ‘S’ be the sample space.
∴ n(S) = 5 + 6 + 2 = 13
Event A: it is a coffee chocolate.
∴ n(A) = `square`
∴ P(A) = `square/("n"("S"))` .......[Formula]
P (A) = `square/13`
