Question
Three coins are tossed. Describe Two events which are mutually exclusive.

Answer

When three coins are tossed then sample space (S) is given by S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH, HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}
Let event A: getting at least two heads = {HHH, HHT, HTH, THH} and
event B: getting at least two tails = {HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}
There should not be any element common for the events to be mutually exclusive.
since ${A\cap B=\phi}$
Thus A and B are mutually exclusive events.
