Let X1, X2,... be a sequence of coin tosses and let Fn be the sigma-field generated by
X1,X2,...Xn. For example, we can describe F1={H,T, empty set, S}.
(a) For each of the following events find the smallest n such that the event belongs to Fn.
A={the first occurrence of heads is proceeded by no more than 10 tails}
B={the first 100 tosses produce the same outcome}
C={at least 3 heads}
