The sample space, with a fair coin, is {Heads, Tails}.I am assuming that the probability that the coin ends up resting on its edge is so small that it can be ignored as a possible outcome.

There are 72 permutations of two dice and one coin.
48
obviously it is a 50-50 chance

1/5 1 out of 5.
The number of combinations - not to be confused with the number of permutations - is 2*21 = 42.
The probability of getting heads only once when a fair coin is tossed 4 times is 4/16 or 0.25. This is because there are 4 favorable outcomes where heads appears exactly once, out of the 16 possible outcomes.

The sample space of a standard six sided die is [1,2,3,4,5,6].

The answer in the back of the book says that it is: TT, TH, H1, H2 H3, H4, H5, H6= 8 possibilities. But I don't understand what that means or how the answer was found. Help?
