Answer

S = {SSS, SSF, SFS, SFF, FSS, FSF, FFS, FFF}

Work Step by Step

For the first shoot the sample space is: {S, F} Now, each of the two outcomes of the first shoot must be combined with the two outcomes of the second shoot: - S with S = SS - S with F = SF - F with S = FS - F with F = FF The sample space after the second shoot is: {SS,SF,FS,FF} Now, each of the four outcomes of the second shoot must be combined with the two outcomes of the third shoot: - SS with S = SSS - SS with F = SSF - SF with S = SFS - SF with F = SFF - FS with S = FSS - FS with F = FSF - FF with S = FFS - FF with F = FFF The sample space after the third shoot is: {SSS, SSF, SFS, SFF, FSS, FSF, FFS, FFF}
