A coin is tossed three times. An outcome is represented by a string of the sort HTT (meaning a head on the first toss, followed by two tails). The

8

outcomes are listed in the table below. Note that each outcome has the same probability.

For each of the three events in the table, check the outcome(s) that are contained in the event. Then, in the last column, enter the probability of the event.

	Outcomes	Probability
THH	TTT	HHT	THT	HTH	TTH	HHH	HTT
Event A:Alternating tail and head (with either coming first)
Event B:A head on each of the first two tosses
Event C:Exactly one head
