Vedclass · Answer

(A) The total number of outcomes when tossing a coin $3$ times is $2^3 = 8$. The sample space is $S = \{HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT\}$.The boy wins if all tosses give the same outcome,which are the events $\{HHH, TTT\}$.The number of winning outcomes is $2$.The number of losing outcomes is $8 - 2 = 6$. These outcomes are $\{HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH\}$.The probability that the boy loses the game is $P(	ext{Lose}) = \frac{	ext{Number of losing outcomes}}{	ext{Total number of outcomes}} = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}$.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$(i) \ P(A \cap B)$	$(1) \ 0.4$
$(ii) \ P(A \cap \bar{B})$	$(2) \ 0.2$
$(iii) \ P(\bar{A} \cap B)$	$(3) \ 0.3$
$(iv) \ P(\bar{A} \cap \bar{B})$	$(4) \ 0.1$

$A$ game consists of tossing a coin $3$ times and noting its outcome. $A$ boy wins the game if all tosses give the same outcome (i.e.,three heads or three tails) and loses the game otherwise. The probability that the boy loses the game is
