Explanation:-

A referee flips a coin three times.

Let 'S' be the sample space

HHH → Three tosses has Heads

HHT → → first toss head , the second toss head and the third toss was tail

TTT→ Three tosses has tails

THH→ first toss one tail , the second toss head and the third toss was head

TTH → first toss one tail , the second toss Tail and the third toss was head

THT → first toss one tail , the second toss Head and the third toss was Tail

HTH→ first toss one head , the second toss Tail and the third toss was head

HTT→ first toss head , the second toss Tail and the third toss was tail

The sample space

= { HHH,HHT,TTT,THH,TTH,THT,HTH,HTT} = 8
