Answer:

Even set = {HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that three coins are tossed; the result is at most one head.

And we have to find the sets of elements that are included in the sample space.

Firstly, as we know that when three coins are tossed, the total number of cases formed is 8.

Let Head on the coin be represented by 'H' and the Tail on the coin be represented by 'T'.

So, the sample space so formed is;

S = {HHH, HTH, HHT, THH, THT, TTH, HTT, TTT}

Now, our event is at most one head. So, the sample space for the favorable event is given by;

Even set = {HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}

In this, three cases are of head occurring only once and one case is of head not appearing in three tosses of a coin.
