If we flip a coin n-times,
what is the probability of the event $$A= \left \{there \space are \space k \space head \right \}$$.
I should find the number of elements of A,
the book says that is $$\binom{n}{k}$$ but for $$n=3$$ and $$k=2$$, all the possible outcomes are:
$$A= \left \{(h, h,h), (h, h, x), (h, x, h), (x, h, h) \right \}$$, where the position of h or x is the k-flip.
How to find this number?
PS. h is head.
