What is a favourable outcome?
The outcome that is the top number on a fraction. e.g. The multiples of 3 are 3 and 6 = there are 2 favourable outcomes. Probability ( multiple of 3 ) + 2/6 = two favourable outcomes/six possible outcomes
If you toss a coin 3 times how many outcomes are there?
3
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 outcomes do you get from rolling 3 coins?
23 or 8 outcomes. In any experiment with two outcomes, if you do the experiment n times there are 2n outcomes. This about each time you roll the coin have two possible outcomes, H or T. So if you roll it 2 times, you have 4 possible outcomes. HH, HT, TH or TT. Do it one more time and you have 8 outcomes. HHH, HHT, HTH, THH TTT TTH THT HTT Notice there are 1 outcome with 3 heads, 1 with 3 tails 3 with two heads 3 with two tails This pattern follow the binomial theorem. The coefficients of the binomial (H+T)3 are 1 3 3 1. The same numbers as we have above!
If you shoot 5 free throws what are the possible outcomes?
The only possible outcomes are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 0 points.
