A coin is tossed thrice by the sample space
S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}
n(S) = 8
Let A be the event of getting exactly two heads
A = { HHT, HTH, THH}
n(A) = 3
\(P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{3}{8}\)
Let B be the event of getting atleast one tail.
B = {HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}
n(B) = 7
\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{B})=\frac{n(\mathrm{~B})}{n(\mathrm{~S})}=\frac{7}{8}\)
Let C be the event of getting consecutively two heads
C = {HHT, THH, HHH}
n(C) = 3
\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{C})=\frac{n(\mathrm{C})}{n(\mathrm{~S})}=\frac{3}{8}\)
A n B = {HHT, HTH, THH}
n(A n B) = 3
\(\mathrm{P}(A \cap B) =\frac{n(\mathrm{~A} \cap \mathrm{B})}{n(\mathrm{~S})}=\frac{3}{8}
\)
\(B \cap C =\{\mathrm{HHT}, \mathrm{THH}\}
\)
\(n(\mathrm{~A} \cap \mathrm{C}) =2

\(P(\mathrm{~B} \cap \mathrm{C}) =\frac{n(\mathrm{~B} \cap \mathrm{C})}{n(\mathrm{~S})}=\frac{2}{8}

7.
When two dice are rolled together, there will be 6 x 6 = 36 outcomes. Let S be the sample space. Then n(S) = 36.
Let A be the event of getting a doublet and B be the event of getting face sum 4.
Then A = {(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(4,4),(5,5),(6,6)}
B = {(1,3),(2,2),(3,1)
Therefore, A∩B = {(2,2)}
Then, n(A) = 6, n(B) = 3, n(A∩B) = 1
P(A) = \(\frac { n(A) }{ n(S) } =\frac { 6 }{ 36 } \)
P(B) = \(\frac { n(B) }{ n(S) } =\frac { 3 }{ 36 } \)
P(A∩B) = \(\frac { n(A\cap B) }{ n(S) } =\frac { 1 }{ 36 } \)
Therefore, P (getting a doublet or a total of 4) = P(AUB)
P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
=\(\frac { 6 }{ 36 } +\frac { 3 }{ 36 } -\frac { 1 }{ 36 } =\frac { 8 }{ 36 } =\frac { 2 }{ 9 } \)
Hence, the required probability is \(\frac { 2 }{ 9 } \).

n(S) = 36
(i) Let A be the event of getting a doublet
A = {( 1, 1) (2,2) (3,3) (4, 4) (5, 5) (6, 6)}
n(A) = 6
\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{A})=\frac{n(A)}{n(S)}=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}\)
(ii) Let B be the event of getting the product as a prime number.
B = {(1,2) (1,3) (1, 5) (2,1) (3, 1) (5, 1)}
n(B) = 6
\(P(B)=\frac{6}{36}=\frac{1}{6}\)
(iii) Let C be the event of getting the sum as a prime number.
c = {(1, 1) ( 1, 2) (1, 4) ( 1, 6) (2, 1) (2, 3) (2, 5) (3,2) (3, 4) (4, 1) (4,3) (5,2) (5,6) (6, 1) (6,5)}
n(C) = 15
\(\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{C})=\frac{n(C)}{n(S)}=\frac{15}{36}=\frac{5}{12}\)
