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).
What is the probability of getting exactly 2 heads in 3 coin tosses?
With 3 coin tosses, the possible outcomes are: HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT There are 8 possible outcomes and 3 of them have 2 heads. Thus: probability = 3/8 (= 0.375)
How many outcomes are possible if a coin is tossed 10 times?
2 sides x 10 tosses, so your possibilities is 2^10 or 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 =1024 outcomes.
If you toss a coin 5 times how many outcomes are there?
For a coin toss, there are 2 possible outcomes (heads or tails). For five tosses, therefore, there are 25 possible outcomes (25 = 32). However, this assumes that order is important (i.e. that HtttH is different to tHtHt). If you don't care what order the heads or tails fall in, there are only 6 outcomes.
If you toss a coin three times how many possible outcomes are there?
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!
