The document outlines a method for determining the sample space when tossing a coin multiple times, detailing the outcomes for one to four tosses. It provides a step-by-step construction of tree diagrams to visualize the sample spaces and lists the number of outcomes for each scenario. The application of sample spaces is emphasized for calculating probabilities of events.

OBJECTIVE MATERIAL REQUIRED

To write the sample space, when a coin One rupee coin, paper pencil/pen,
is tossed once, two times, three times, plastic circular discs, marked with
four times. Head (H) and Tail (T).

METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION
1. Toss a coin once. It can have two outcomes - Head or Tail.
2. Make a tree diagram showing the two branches of a tree - with H (Head) on
one branch and T (Tail) on the other (see Fig. 33.1).
3. Write its sample space.
4. Toss a coin twice. It can have four outcomes (see Fig. 33.2)
5. Repeat the experiment with tossing the coin three times, four times,
n and write their sample spaces, if possible. (see Fig. 33.3 and 33.4).
DEMONSTRATION
1. If a coin is tossed once, the sample space is
S= {H, T}
Fig. 33.1
Number of elements in S=2= 2!
2. When a coin is tossed twice, the sample space is
S= {HH, HT, TH,TT}
Number of elements in S = 4= 22

Number of elements in S = 8=2

4. When a coin is tossed four times, the S = Sample space is
[HHHH, HHHT, HHTH, HHTT, HTHH, HTHT, HTTH, HTTT,
|THHH, THHT, THTH, THTT, TTHH, TTHT, TTTH, TTTT
Number of elements in S = 16 =2 and so on.

OBSERVATION
Number of elements in sample space, when a
1. coin is tossed once =
2. coin is tossed twice
3. coin is tossed three times
4. coin is tossed four times

APPLICATION
Sample space of an experiment is useful in determining the probabilities of
different events associated with the sample space.
