Answer 1

Required:

The sample space of flipping a coin 3 times

The sample space of a fair coin flip is {H, T}.

The number of sequence of outcomes of three fair coin flips can be calculated using the formula

`\begin{gathered} =\text{ 2}^n \\ Where\text{ n is the number of flips} \end{gathered}`

For this problem, n = 3

Hence, the number of sequence of outcomes:

`\begin{gathered} S\text{ = 2}^3 \\ =\text{ 8} \end{gathered}`

The sample space is:

{HHH, HHT, HT H, HT T, T HH, T HT, T T H, T T T }
