Those are the names given to the two faces of a coin. From early days, coins had an image of important persons - kings, queens, emperors, on one face and that face was called heads. The reason for the other side being called "tails" is uncertain.
These are the only two outcomes of a coin being tossed. Although there is a non-zero probability of the coin falling and remaining on its edge, it is small enough to be ignored in practice.

there can be only three combo's ------ head n tail,,,,,,,, tail n tail,,,,,,,,,,,,,, head n head
The probability is 50-50.
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?
A coin.

the probability of getting one head and one tail on three flips of a coin is 1/9
The probability is 50-50.
In three tosses there can be four possible outcomes: three heads, three tails, two heads and one tail, and one head and two tails. ^^^That is wrongA coin is tossed N times. There are 2 possibilities when you toss a coin: heads and tails.So the formula is 2^N (thats to the N power)A coin tossed 3 times has 2^3=8 possible outcomes:head head headhead head tailhead tail headtail head headtail tail headhead tail tailtail head tailtail tail tailThere they are!

A coin has a head and a tail but no body!

A coin. It has a head on one side and a tail on the other.
Yes. It is a certain event. If a coin is tossed, a 'head or tail would roll' is a certain event and has probability 1.
50/50
A coin.
