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 colum enter the probability of the event. Event A: No tails on the last two tosses Event B: Exactly one head Event C: More tails than heads TTH HTT THT Outcomes HTH THH HHT HHH TIT Probability 0.25 믐 X S
