We model the experiment where we toss a fair coin 4 times as follows. The sample space Ω is the space of (ordered) binary vectors of length 4. A 1 in the i-th position of such a binary vector indicates Heads at the i-th toss. The probability measure (P) on Ω is defined as P(A)=|A| / |Ω| for all A⊂Ω. Let Ai be the event that the ith toss is Heads, i = 1,...,4. (a) Give all outcomes in A3....
