A fair coin is tossed four times, and the sequence of heads and tails is observed. (a)
Question:
(a) List each of the 16 sequences in the sample space S.
(b) Let events A, B, C, and D be given by A = {at least 3 heads}, B = {at most 2 heads}, C = {heads on the third toss}, and D = {1 head and 3 tails}. If the probability set function assigns 1/16 to each outcome in the sample space, find
(i) P(A),
(ii) P(A ∩ B),
(iii) P(B),
(iv) P(A ∩ C),
(v) P(D),
(vi) P(A ∪ C), and
(vii) P(B ∩ D).
