Describe the sample space for the indicated experiment: A coin is tossed three times.
Describe the sample space for the indicated experiment: A coin is tossed three times.
A coin has two faces: head $(H)$ and tail $(T)$.
When a coin is tossed three times, the total number of possible outcome is $2^{3}=8$
Thus, when a coin is tossed three times, the sample space is given by :
$S =\{ HHH ,\, HHT ,\, HTH ,\, HTT , \,THH , \,THT , \,TTH , \,TTT \}$
