Given that x is cross and o is head the possible outcomes would be:

x-x-x

o-x-x

x-o-x

x-x-o

o-o-x

o-x-o

x-o-o

o-o-o

Thence there are 8 possible outcomes. Assumptions: 1) Each coin ends up head or tail (never on its side) 2) The coins are distinctinguishable (maybe a penny dime and quarter). If three identical perfectly balanced pennies are tossed at the same time there are 4 outcomes (all heads or all tails 1/8 of the time each and just one or just 2 heads 3/8 of the time each)

How many outcomes are possible of a coin is tossed 3 times?

It depends on the definition of an outcome. If you care about the order of the tosses, <br /> you get 2 possible outcomes per toss. Three tosses give you 2*2*2=8 possible outcomes. If you only care about the final number of heads and tails, there are 4 possible outcomes (3 heads, 2 heads and a tail, a head and two tails, or 3 tails).
