Hi, could someone help me to confirm this Event of probability ? 

 

Consider this experiment : I have three nickels. I toss each nickel one time and record whether heads or tails appears. 

 

A. What is the simple space of this experiment ? 

The simple space I know is thr set of all possible outcome but what with 3 nickels ? 

 

B. If I talked about the vent of "getting all tails" , would this be a simple or a coumpouded event. Why ? 

 

I think its coumpeded because it consist of more than one outcome ( more than 1 possibilities right ? 

Best and Thank you 

 

Enjoy your day  !
