Answer: The correct option is

(D) {WWW, WWL, WLW, WLL, LWW, LWL, LLW}.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a person in a casino decides to play 3 games of blackjack.

Here , W denote a win and L denote a loss.

Event A is defined as "the person wins at least one game of blackjack".

Since the person is playing 3 games, so the sample space of the experiment is given by

S = {WWW, WWL, WLW, WLL, LWW, LWL, LLW, LLL}.

Since, according to event E, the person wins at least one game, so the element LLL will not be there.

Therefore, the elements of event E are WWW, WWL, WLW, WLL, LWW, LWL, LLW.

Thus, the possible outcomes of E are {WWW, WWL, WLW, WLL, LWW, LWL, LLW}.

Option (D) is CORRECT.
