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.

you ether use a graph tree diagram or web diagram to answer the possible outcomes of the question possible outcomes meaning the number of outcomes the person will have in the probability or divide the number of favourable outcomes by the number of possible outcomes favorible outcomes meaning the number of outcomes all together
The set of all possible outcomes is the range.
A tree diagram is the way to identify and count all possible outcomes.
All possible outcomes of an experiment is known as a sample space. This will include an exhaustive list of all the possible results to be achieved.
