HH, HT, TH, or TT. Each has a probability of 1/4. You might consider HT and TH the same, in which case you'd say the probably of HH and TT are 1/4 each and the probability of TH is 1/2.

What is the probability of three people flipping a coin and two having the same side and the other not?
When flipping a coin, there are 2 possible outcomes. When flipping 3 coins there are 8 possible outcomes (2^3=8). As for the situation described, there is only one way for it to not be true, if all the coins land on the same side. So either all heads or all tails. This leaves 8-2=6 possible outcomes resulting in the above situation. Therefore the probability of the given situation is 6/8 or 3/4=75%
How many equally likely outcomes are there when flipping 10 coins?
There are 2^10 = 1024 of them.
How many possible outcomes of tossing a coin and rolling a 6-sided number cube?
There is 2 outcomes for flipping the coin, and 6 outcomes for rolling the cube. The total outcomes for both are 2*6 = 12.
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 in the sample space for the event first roll a die and then shoot a basket?
There is 2 outcomes for flipping the coin, and 6 outcomes for rolling the cube. The total outcomes for both are 2*6 = 12.
How many outcomes for flipping 2 coins 5 times?

Four coins are tossed. How many outcomes are possible?
8 outcomes are possible in this situtation. You just have to multiply 4 by 2 to get the answer.
How many possible outcomes of tossing a coin 10 times have at least 2 heads?
There are 210 total possible outcomes from flipping a coin 10 times.There is one possible outcome where there are 0 heads.There are 10 possible outcomes where there is 1 head.So there are 210 - 11 possible outcomes with at least 2 heads.(1013)
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.
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.

Please list the sample space for flipping a coin and rolling a number cube with 1 2 3 4 5 and 6?
Flipping a coin: two possible outcomes, H or T. Rolling a die: six possible outcomes, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. Flipping a coin and rolling a die: 12 possible outcomes. So the sample space has 12 outcomes such as, {H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 }
