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: head on third toss, F: heads on first two tosses

E=\left \{ {HHH},{TTH},{HTH},{THH} \right \}

F=\left \{ {HHH},{HHT} \right \}

E\cap F =HHH

P(F)=\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}

P(E\cap F)=\frac{1}{8}

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

P(E| F)=\frac{\frac{1}{8}}{\frac{1}{4}}

P(E| F)=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}
