The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Correct answer: 8
Explanation:
When a coin is tossed, it has 2 possible outcomes: Heads (H) or Tails (T). For three coins, each coin can independently show either Heads or Tails. Therefore, the total number of outcomes for three coins is: \[ 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8 \] The possible outcomes are: \[ HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT \]
Hence, the total number of outcomes is 8.

- Two different dice are tossed together. Find the probability that the product of the number on the top of the dice is 6.
- Two dice are thrown. Defined are the following two events A and B: \[ A = \{(x, y) : x + y = 9\}, \quad B = \{(x, y) : x \neq 3\}, \] where \( (x, y) \) denote a point in the sample space. Check if events \( A \) and \( B \) are independent or mutually exclusive.
