- Random experiment has more than one outcome and the exact one cannot be predicted in advance.
- A trial is one performance of a random experiment.
- One coin toss gives 2 outcomes.
- Two coin tosses give 4 outcomes.
- Three coin tosses give 8 outcomes.
- P(E) = m/n.
- m = favourable outcomes.
- n = total outcomes.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A trial and an experiment are the same thing.
A random experiment means the outcomes are not known at all.
Two coins tossed together give only 3 outcomes.
