Question

Gitta is asked to find the probability of getting all heads on 3 coin tosses. This is a compound event.

Answer 1

True

Explanation:

Answer 2

1. P(getting all head)=
`(n(getting-all-head))/(n(Sample-space))`

2. Event: getting all head can happen in only one way: HHH

3. n(Sample space) can be calculated by

a. counting, a good ways to organize counting is drawing a tree diagram, CHECK THE PICTURE

or
b. There are 2 possible outcomes each time we throw the dice so 2*2*2=8 is the total number of outcomes, that is the number of the sample space.

4. So finally P(getting all head)=
`(1)/(8)`
