How many possible outcomes are there if you toss a coin 3 times?
2x2x2=8 possible outcomes. In general for n tosses there are 2^n outcomes.
How many different combinations are possible if a coin is tossed three times?
there can be only three combo's ------ head n tail,,,,,,,, tail n tail,,,,,,,,,,,,,, head n head
How many different amounts can you have with only 2 coins?
That depends what coins are allowed. Since I don't know in what country you live, there is really no way to know. For "n" different coins, you have "n" options where the same coin is used twice; you also have n(n-1)/2 options that use two different coins.
What is a systematic way to find all possible outcomes?
The answer is not easy: it depends on the situation that you are studying. It is simple to identify all the possible outcomes of rolling a die and tossing a coin: it is the set of ordered pairs defined as the set {(n, a), where n is an integer from 1 to 6 and a is H or T}. In general, it is not at all simple to determine all possible outcomes. There may be outcomes that you did not expect or and make allowance for. In practise, therefore, it is sometimes best to have a category for "other outcomes". In principal, a tossed coin could end up on its edge, or at least, end up leaning against some obstruction so that it is not flat on H or T.
If one event has impossible outcomes and a second event has no possible outcomes after the first event has occurred then there are m times n total possible outcomes for the two events?
M=0 n=0 m*n=0
