Three coins are tossed. Describe Two events which are mutually exclusive.
Three coins are tossed. Describe Two events which are mutually exclusive.
When three coins are tossed, the sample space is given by
$S =\{ HHH , \,HHT , \,HTH ,\, HTT , \,THH , \,THT , \,TTH , \,TTT \}$
Two events that are mutually exclusive can be
$A:$ getting no heads and $B:$ getting no tails
This is because sets $A=\{T T T\}$ and $B=\{H H H\}$ are disjoint.
