The sample space S when a coin is tossed three times is

S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}

It can be seen that the sample space (S) has 8 elements.

 Total number of outcomes =2^{3}=8

According to question

E: at most two tails, F: at least one tail

E=\left \{ {HHH},{TTH},{HTH},{THH},THT,HTT,HHT \right \}=7

F=\left \{ {TTT},{TTH},{HTH},{THH},THT,HTT,HHT \right \}=7

E\cap F=\left \{ {TTH},{HTH},{THH},THT,HTT,HHT \right \}=6

P(F)=\frac{7}{8}

P(E\cap F)=\frac{6}{8}=\frac{3}{4}

P(E| F)=\frac{P(E\cap F)}{P(F)}

P(E| F)=\frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{7}{8}}

P(E| F)=\frac{6}{7}
