B) {HHHHH, TTTTT, HTHHH}
C) {HHHHH, THHHH, HTHHH}
D) {HHHHH, TTTTT, HTTTH}

Answer 1

The set corresponding to the event that exactly one of the five flips comes up heads is option A) {HHHHH, HTTTH, HHTTT}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The set corresponding to the event that exactly one of the five flips comes up heads is option A) {HHHHH, HTTTH, HHTTT}.

This set represents all the possible outcomes where only one out of the five flips is heads. In this case, there are three outcomes where exactly one flip is heads: HHTTT, HTTTH, and HHHHH.
