To represent all possible combinations of tossing a coin 5 times on a tree diagram, you would need 2^5 leaves, which equals 32 leaves. This is because each toss of a coin has 2 possible outcomes (heads or tails), and there are 5 tosses in total. Each branch on the tree diagram represents one possible outcome, leading to a total of 32 leaves to cover all possible combinations.

The probability of tossing two coins that are different is 1 in 2, or 0.5.The probability of tossing something on the first coin is 1. The probability of not matching that on the second coin is 0.5. Multiply 1 and 0.5 together, and you get 0.5.
It is 3/8
For each of the coins, in order, you have two possible outcomes so that there are 2*2*2*2 = 16 outcomes in all.
The sample space for tossing 2 coins is (H = Heads & T = Tails): HH, HT, TH, TT
The probability of tossing two heads in two coins is 0.25.

To draw a tree diagram for Judy tossing a coin 4 times, we start with the initial toss, which branches into two possibilities: heads or tails. Each subsequent toss branches out in the same manner. So, the first level of the tree diagram will have 2 branches, the second level will have 4 branches, the third level will have 8 branches, and the fourth level will have 16 branches, representing all possible outcomes of tossing the coin 4 times.

2 out of 8
The probability is 1/2^4 = 1/16
