Question

If a coin is flipped three times, list all of the possible outcomes

Answer 1

Hello, thank you for taking the time to post your question!

You just want to be sure that all possible outcomes are accounted for … you have 2 possibilities at each flip so you end up with a total of 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 possible outcomes. I would break it down systematically then based on which one is picked first.

The ones that begin with Heads:

HHH

HHT

HTH

HTT

The ones that begin with Tails:

TTT

TTH

THT

THH

I hope that helps get you moving in the right direction! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions beyond that :)

Answer 2

There will be 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 outcomes.
