A fair coin will be tossed three times.

(a) Indicating a head by H and a tail by T write down the outcome space.

(b) What is the probability that on the first toss the outcome with a tail?

(d) What is the probability that the first toss gives a tail and exactly two heads are obtained from the three coin tosses? Are the outcomes from parts (b) and (c) independent.

Q7 A fair coin is tossed three times independently: let X denote the number of heads on the first toss (i.e., X = 1 if the first toss is a head; otherwise X = 0) and Y denote the total number of heads. Hint: first figure out the possible values of X and Y , then complete the table cell by cell. Marginalize the joint probability mass function of X and Y in the previous qusetion to get marginal PMF’s.
