Probability of en Event

Let E be an event and S be the sample space. Then probability of the event E
can be defined as
P(E) = n(E)/n(S)
where P(E) = Probability of the event E, n(E) = number of ways in which the
event can occur and n(S) = Total number of outcomes possible

Tossing of a fair coin

When we toss a coin, the outcome will be either Head (H) or Tail (T)=2^n
P(s)= { H,T} ---🡪 1 time
P(s)= { HT,TH,TT,HH} ---🡪 2 time
P(s)= { HHT,HTH,THH,TTT,HHH,THT,HTT,TTH}--🡪 3 time
