We know that a coin has two sides Sample space S = {H, T} Total no. of outcomes = 2 It is given that a coin is tossed twice. Consider P (A) as the probability of getting at most 1 tail Sample space of A = {(H, H), (H, T), (T, H)} Consider P (B) as the probability of getting a head Sample space of B = {H} P (B) = 1/2 So the probability of getting at most one tail and a head (A ∩ B) = {(H, H)} P (A ∩ B) = 1/3 Here the probability that both head and tail have appeared can be written as
