A minimum of two coin tosses required for the estimation. Here is how:
HT - corresponds to event A - prob 0.24
TH - corresponds to event B - prob 0.24
TT or HH - event C - prob 0.52
in case of event C, toss the coin two times again... keep doing so, until you get either event A or B
Please confirm if my solution is correct
Yes, you are right; Congratulations
