How many possible outcomes if each coin is flipped once?
We use three coins (quarter, nickel, dime) each are flipped only once. We get 8 possible outcomes (or four outcomes as an alternative).
What is the outcome if two coins are tossed and one number cube is rolled?
Let's call one coin A and the other B. omes The possible outcomes for the coins are; A heads and B tails, A tails and B heads, A and B heads, A and B tails. That's four outcomes. The possible outcomes for a single die (as in dice) are six since a die has six faces, So four times six is twenty four possible outcomes.
How many possible outcomes are there when you roll four dice?
1,296
If you toss 4 coins what is the probability of getting two heads and two tails?
When tossing a coin, there are 2 distinct possibilities: heads or tails. When tossing 4 coins, there are 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16 possible outcomes. To determine the number of outcomes that will result in 2 heads and 2 tails the formula would be n!/(h!)(n-h)! where n = number of coinsand h = number of heads. In this case the number of different ways you can get 2 heads and 2 tails would be4!/(2! x 2!) = 6 Let's verify the number of different ways you can get two heads and two tails: H H T TH T T HH T H T T T H HT H H TT H T H These are the six different ways to get two heads and two tails with four coins. To find the probability, you divide 6 by the total number of possible outcomes (16) and you would get 6/16 = 3/8. The probability of tossing 4 coins and getting two heads and two tails is 3/8 or 0.375
Two coins and one six sided cube are tossed together What is the probability of getting 2 heads and a four?
Probability is defined as the number of ways an outcome can occur divided by the number of possible outcomes. For the coins, there are 4 outcomes (HH, HT, TH, TT). On the cube, there are 6 possible outcomes. The total number of outcomes is then 4*6 = 24. Since there is only 1 way to obtain HH, look at the cube outcomes. With the HH outcome, the cube would need to fall on a 4. So, there is only 1 way a HH4 can occur. Therefore the probability of getting 2 heads and a four is 1/24 or 0.04167.
