Answer : (a) A coin is tossed three times So possible number of outcomes=23=8 (HHH,HHT,HTH,HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT)

(b) i) A coin is tossed four times

So possible number of outcomes=24=16 (HHHH,HHHT,HHTH,HHTT,HTHH,HTHT,HTTH,HTTT,THHH,THHT,THTH,THTT,TTHH

,TTHT,TTTH,TTTT)

  • A coin is tossed n times

So possible number of outcomes=2n
