If you toss eight coins, there are 256 (28) different outcomes.
William has 4 shirts that he can wear with a choice of 3 different pants. He has 12 different possible outcomes. Why there are 12 possible outcomes: There are twelve possible outcomes because 4 multiplied by 3 is 12. This is called algorthim. Algorithm is when you multiply numbers to get your outcome. There are plenty ways to get or find how many outcomes there are. These ways are a tree diagram, chart, sample spaces, ect. Hope i helped! :)
The single die can land in 6 different ways. For each of those . . . The first coin can land in 2 different ways. For each of those . . . The second coin can land in 2 different ways. Total number of different possible outcomes = (6 x 2 x 2) = 24 IF the coins have different colors so that you can tell them apart. If you can't tell the coins apart, then there are only 12 different outcomes.
Depends if the dice is bias then you an not have an answer if it is fair then you times 6 by 3 which = 18 so if you want three different outcomes then 3/18 which is simplified to 1/6 of a chance!
