Three coins are tossed. Describe Three events which are mutually exclusive and exhaustive.
When three coins are tossed, the sample space is given by
$S =\{ HHH , \,HHT , \,HTH ,\, HTT , \,THH , \,THT , \,TTH , \,TTT \}$
Three events that are mutually exclusive and exhaustive can be
$A:$ getting no heads
$B:$ getting exactly one head
$C:$ getting at least two heads
i.e. $A=\{T T T\}$
$B =\{ HTT , \, THT, \,TTH \}$
$C =\{ HHH , \,HHT ,\, HTH , \,THH \}$
This is because $A \cap B=B \cap C$ $=C \cap A=\phi$ and $A \cup B \cup C=S$
Describe the sample space for the indicated experiment: A coin is tossed four times.
A bag contains $5$ white, $7$ red and $8$ black balls. If four balls are drawn one by one without replacement, what is the probability that all are white
If in a lottary there are $5$ prizes and $20$ blanks, then the probability of getting a prize is
A coin is tossed. If it shows a tail, we draw a ball from a box which contains $2$ red and $3$ black balls. If it shows head, we throw a die. Find the sample space for this experiment.
Two fair dice are tossed. Let $A$ be the event that the first die shows an even number and $B$ be the event that the second die shows an odd number. The two event $A$ and $B$ are
