Four is the answer for the question as stated, but perhaps it is not stated correctly? If you meant to say that three coins are drawn, one after the other, with no coin being replaced after drawing then the answer is 4! 4! ( which is spoken as factorial four ) means 4 X 3 X 2 X 1 which equals 24 This is because there are 4 choices for the first coin, and once that one, whichever one it is, is gone, there are 3 for the next coin. Now there are only two coins left, so two choices for the next. Then only 1 choice since there is 1 coin..

There are technically 8 possible outcomes if you are talking about the side of the coin it lands on. Each coin has 2 possible outcomes (landing on heads and landing on tails).
