Normally there would considered to be 2⁴ = 16 possible outcomes as each outcome is one of 2 states: Head or Tails.
-------------------------
There is an extremely small probability that a normal coin will end up on its edge, which mean there are 3⁴ = 81 possible outcomes. However, this probability is so small that it is ignored and normally only 2 outcomes are considered possible. As the radius to width ratio of the coin changes, the probability of the coin ending up on its edge changes, for some values being so significant that it becomes a real probability that the edge can result, and for some ratios it is almost always the edge that results and the probability of head or tails (ie ends of the cylinder that is the coin) is so small as to be ignored like the edge for a normal sized coin (cylinder).

A fair coin is tossed 3 times how many possible outcomes are there?
Each toss has 2 outcomes; so the number of outcomes for 3 tosses is 2*2*2 = 8
How many possible outcomes for flipping 2 coins?
Assuming the coins are fair, two-sided coins, and landing on their sides is not an option, there are four possible outcomes if you consider coin a having a head and coin b having a tail being a different instance from coin a being a tail and coin be having a head. Here they are; Coin A | Coin B Heads | Tails Heads | Heads Tails....| Heads Tails....| Tails
If you have 3 fair casino dice and throw all three at the same time each time how many different outcomes are possible?
6 outcomes for each die and so 6x6x6 outcomes for all three
In football the referee tosses a coin to determine which team will kick off and which will receive What is the probability that a team will win the toss?
In tossing a coin, there are two outcomes; head or tail. Since there are two outcomes, probability of each outcome is: 0.5. Assuming a fair coin, probability of a head or tail is: 0.5. So, probability a team will win a toss is: 0.5.
What is the probability of getting heads at least once if a fair coin is flipped three times?

An experiment consists of flipping a fair coin and rolling a fair die How many possible outcomes have a head and an odd number?
3 of them.
What is the probability of getting heads only once if a fair coin is tossed 4 times?
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.
What is the probability of getting at least 2 heads in three flips of a fair coin?
In three flips of a fair coin, there are a total of 8 possible outcomes: T, T, T; T, T, H; T, H, T; T, H, H; H, H, H; H, H, T; H, T, H; H, T, T Of the possible outcomes, four of them (half) contain at least two heads, as can be seen by inspection. Note: In flipping a coin, there are two possible outcomes at each flipping event. The number of possible outcomes expands as a function of the number of times the coin is flipped. One flip, two possible outcomes. Two flips, four possible outcomes. Three flips, eight possible outcomes. Four flips, sixteen possible outcomes. It appears that the number of possible outcomes is a power of the number of possible outcomes, which is two. 21 = 2, 22 = 4, 23 = 8, 24 = 16, .... Looks like a pattern developing there. Welcome to this variant of permutations.
What does it mean for a probability to be fair?
A probability is fair if there is no bias in any of the possible outcomes. Said another way, all of the possible outcomes in a fair distribution have an equal probability.

Is it possible to toss a coin 20 times and have it land heads-up 20 times is this likely to happen?
It is possible. It is certain with a double headed coin. With a fair coin the event has a probability of 1 in 1048576 or approximately 1 in a million.
