Suppose we toss a fair coin three times. Consider the events A: we toss three heads, B: we toss at least one head, and C: we toss at least two tails. P(A) = 12.5 P(B) = .875 P(C) = .50 What is P(A ∩ B), P(A ∩ C) and P(B ∩ C)? If you can show steps, that'd be great. I'm not fully sure what the difference between ∩ and ∪ is (sorry I can't make the ∪ bigger).

Problem Page Question A coin is tossed three times. An outcome is represented by a string of the sort HTT (meaning a head on the first toss, followed by two tails). The 8 outcomes are listed in the table below. Note that each outcome has the same probability. For each of the three events in the table, check the outcome(s) that are contained in the event. Then, in the last column, enter the probability of the event. Outcomes Probability HHT...
