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

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?

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.
