See pictures for questions a, b and c. Write your answers as fractions.

(I sent this before but it was answer wrong)  Thank you for the help.

Problem

A coin is tossed three times. An outcome is represented by a string of the sort HTT (meaning heads on the first toss, followed by two tails).

The 8 outcomes are listed below. Assume that each outcome has the same probability. Complete the following. Write your answers as fractions.

(b) Suppose at least one toss is tails. (That is, Event B occurs.) This will limit the possible outcomen. From the remaining outcomes, check the outcomes for
Event A. Then, enter the probability that Event A occurs given that Event A occurs.
