We use three coins (quarter, nickel, dime) each are flipped only once. We get 8 possible outcomes (or four outcomes as an alternative).

If there are three coins and each is flipped once how many possible outcomes are there?

There are two outcomes for each coin and three coins; 2 x 2 x 2 = 23 = 8 outcomes.


How many possible outcomes are there when flipping a coin 11 times?

Two possible outcomes for each flip. 2,048 possible histories of 11 flips.


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.


A fair coin is flipped three times what is the probability that the coin lands heads each time?

7/8


How many possible outcomes if you toss a coin four times?

all headsall tails3 heads 1 tail3 tails and 1 head2h and 2ti think only 5 but that's just what i can get===============================================The above answer is correct if you disregard the order of the outcomes.If the order of the outcomes matters, then the answer is:2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16since each toss has two possible outcomes (assuming the coin cannot land on its side) and you repeat the toss four times.

How many outcomes are possible if each coin is flipped once?

When flipping a coin, there are two possible outcomes: heads (H) or tails (T). If you flip one coin, there are 2 outcomes. If you flip multiple coins, the total number of outcomes is calculated as (2^n), where (n) is the number of coins flipped. For example, flipping 3 coins results in (2^3 = 8) possible outcomes.


If there are three coins and each is flipped once how many possible outcomes are there?

There are two outcomes for each coin and three coins; 2 x 2 x 2 = 23 = 8 outcomes.


If joe sam and mary each flip a coin how many possible outcomes are there?

If you can identify the outcomes with who flipped each coin: eg Joe and Mary = Heads, Sam = Tails, then 23 = 8. Otherwise, 4.


Two coins are flipped and a die is rolled how many possible outcomes are there?

Each coin can land in two ways.The die has 6 possible outcomes.So there are 2 x 2 x 6 = 24 possible outcomes for the whole experiment.Note that I am assuming the coins can be told apart - say the first coin and 2nd coin and that H and then T is different that T and then H. If not, then there are only be three outcomes for the coins-- 2 heads, 1 head or no heads and the total number of outcomes would be 3 X 6 = 18.


How many possible outcomes are there when flipping a coin 11 times?

Two possible outcomes for each flip. 2,048 possible histories of 11 flips.


Possible outcomes of tossing a coin?

Heads or tails; each have a probability of 0.5 (assuming a fair coin).


How many possible outcomes when flipping a coin 8 times?

When flipping a coin 8 times, each flip has 2 possible outcomes: heads or tails. Therefore, the total number of possible outcomes is calculated by raising the number of outcomes for one flip to the power of the number of flips: (2^8). This equals 256 possible outcomes.

He toss the coin thrice how many possible outcomes are there?

When tossing a coin, there are two possible outcomes for each toss: heads (H) or tails (T). For three tosses, the total number of possible outcomes can be calculated using the formula (2^n), where (n) is the number of tosses. Thus, (2^3 = 8). Therefore, there are 8 possible outcomes when tossing a coin three times.


If you toss a penny a nickel and a quarter how many possible outcomes?

There are technically 8 possible outcomes if you are talking about the side of the coin it lands on. Each coin has 2 possible outcomes (landing on heads and landing on tails). To figure out the number of outcomes for all the coins you multiply the outcomes for all of the coins together: 2 X 2 X 2= 8.


If SamJoe and Debbie each flip a coin how many possible outcomes are there?

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


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
