of S. nA2.19. Let E denote the experiment of tossing a coin three times in succession. Construct the sample sprRe S. Write down the elements of the two events E and E2, where E, is the event that the number of heads exceeds the number of tails and E, is the event of getting head in the first trial. Find the probabilities P (E) and P (E2), assuming that all the elements of S are equally likely to occur.
