The are more outcomes when tossing three coins than when rolling a number cube?

Only if you're counting order. If you call a head then a tail different from a tail and then a head then there are 8 outcomes from the coins; otherwise there are only 4. And clearly a number cube can have anywhere from 1 to 6 outcomes, depending on whether the same number appears multiple times.

How many possible outcomes can you get by tossing 5 coins?
There are 25 or 32 possible outcomes can you get by tossing 5 coins.
How many possible outcomes of tossing three coins?
There are 23 = 8 possible outcomes.
What are the Possible outcomes of tossing four coins at once?
Each coin can come out either heads (H) or tales (T). Since you're tossing four coins at once, I'm assuming there is no sense of order to be accounted for. In that case, the possible outcomes are the following: HHHH HHHT HHTT HTTT TTTT
What is the theoretical probability of tossing two coins?
Tossing two coins doesn't have a probability, but the events or outcomes of tossing two coins is easy to calculate. Calling the outcomes head (H)or tails (T), the set of outcomes is: HH, HT, TH and TT as follows: 2 heads = (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4 1 head and 1 tail, can be heads on first coin tails on second, or just the opposite, there's two possible events: (1/2)*(1/2) + (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/2 2 tails = same probability as two heads = 1/4
Probability of getting 1 head tossing two coins?
By tossing two coins the possible outcomes are:H & HH & TT & HT & TThus the probability of getting exactly 1 head is 2 out 4 or 50%. If the question was what is the probability of getting at least 1 head then the probability is 3 out of 4 or 75%
How many possible outcomes can you get by tossing 5 coins?
There are 25 or 32 possible outcomes can you get by tossing 5 coins.
How many possible outcomes of tossing three coins?
There are 23 = 8 possible outcomes.
How many outcomes are there in the sample space for tossing two coins?
4
What is the fundamental counting principal of tossing 4 coins?
For each of the coins, in order, you have two possible outcomes so that there are 2*2*2*2 = 16 outcomes in all.
Doesn't the probability of tossing 4 coins equals 24 which is 64 outcomes?
No. The number of outcomes is 24 which is 16, not 64. Furthermore, probability is a number that is associated with an outcome and is a number in the range [0, 1]. Neither 16 nor 64 are number in the relevant range.
What is the possible outcome of tossing 10 coins?
There are 1024 different outcomes, so too many to list.
How many outcomes are in the sample space for tossing two coins?
The sample space consists of the following four outcomes: TT, TH, HT, HH
What is a pascal's triangle used for?
It is used for lots of things such as finding out the total possible outcomes of tossing coins. You find the line that corresponds with how many coins you toss and add all the numbers in that line to get the number of possible outcomes also you can use it to find combinations and permutations and triangular numbers
What are the Possible outcomes of tossing four coins at once?

How many possible outcomes when tossing 3 coins?
three heads two head, one tails one heads, two tails three tails
Five coins are tossed how many outcomes are there?
The total number of outcomes is 2^5 = 32.
What is the theoretical probability of tossing two coins?
Tossing two coins doesn't have a probability, but the events or outcomes of tossing two coins is easy to calculate. Calling the outcomes head (H)or tails (T), the set of outcomes is: HH, HT, TH and TT as follows: 2 heads = (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4 1 head and 1 tail, can be heads on first coin tails on second, or just the opposite, there's two possible events: (1/2)*(1/2) + (1/2)*(1/2) = 1/2 2 tails = same probability as two heads = 1/4
