I am guessing SamJoe, means SAM and JOE not one person, so three people flip a coin, we have two outcomes each times, so 23= 8 possible outcomes. If you had n people, there would be 2n outcomes. For example, if two people flip there are 4 outcomes HH TT HT or TH
2. There is heads and there is tails.
Ok, sounds like a trick question. Obviously, there can be only one result, either heads or tails. Generally, when we consider the set of possible outcomes, we would say a coin flip has 2: a head and a tail. If I really want to complicate the matter, I could include that the coin might land on an edge. Don't think its realistic to include landing on an edge as an outcome.

Three people flip a coin and there are two possible outcome of a coin flip.(Except in one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes which begins: Mr. Hector B. Poole, resident of the Twilight Zone. Flip a coin and keep flipping it. What are the odds? Half the time it will come up heads, half the time tails. But in one freakish chance in a million, it'll land on its edge. Mr. Hector B. Poole, a bright human coin, on his way to the bank.)Since we are not in the twilight zone, here is one way to see this.Sam has two possible outcomes, Joe has two more possible out come, so that is 4 and Debbie has two more so that is 8. So there are 8 possible outcomes. This is 23 .In case you want to see them, here are all the possible outcomes:1.head head head2.head head tail3.head tail head4.tail head head5.tail tail head6.head tail tail7.tail head tail8.tail tail tailWhen there are just two possible outcomes with fixed probability ( 1/2 and 1/2 in this case) summing to one. These distributions are called are called binomial distributions.In this case, it is 3C0+3C1+3C2+3C3=1+3+3+1=8 where 3CN is the number of ways to choose N things from 3. Note that this is also the 4th row in Pascals triangle.
If you flip a coin 2 times, there are 4 possible outcomes; HH, HT, TH, TT.
Four outcomes, three combinations.
Two possible outcomes for each flip. 2,048 possible histories of 11 flips.

The sample space consists of all the possible outcomes. A flip of a coin has 2 outcomes, H,T. The total number of outcomes for 6 flips are 26 or 64.
enless you include it landing on it's side the two possible outcomes for this are: Heads and Tails
There are 24 = 16 ordered outcomes, that is outcomes in which the order of the results is relevant. If not, there are 5 outcomes (0 heads, 1 head, 2 heads, 3 heads and 4 heads).
Two mutually exclusive outcomes. You flip a coin, and only heads and tails are possible.
If you can identify the outcomes with who flipped each coin: eg Joe and Mary = Heads, Sam = Tails, then 23 = 8. Otherwise, 4.
2. There is heads and there is tails.
3 ways, out of 12 possible outcomes.
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.
