Two coins are tossed once, where

(i) E : tail appears on one coin, F : one coin shows head


(ii) E : no tail appears, F : no head appears


Determine P(E|F)


The sample space of the given experiment will be:

S = {HH, HT, TH, TT}


(i) Here, E: tail appears on one coin


And F: one coin shows head


E = {HT, TH} and F = {HT, TH}


E F = {HT, TH}


So,


Now, we know that


By definition of conditional probability,




P(E|F) = 1


(ii) Here, E: no tail appears


And F: no head appears


E = {HH} and F = {TT}


E F = ϕ


So,


Now, we know that


By definition of conditional probability,




P(E|F) = 0
