Please help (probability question)!

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 64 possible outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each flip has 2 options, heads or tails.

         head               tail

One flip has 2 outcomes. When you flip again, you can get this set of 4 outcomes:

         head-head      tail-head

         head-tail          tail-tail

Then when you flip a third coin, each of those cases has 2 cases itself. As you can see, each flip that is added, the total number of outcomes doubles. For 6 flips, you do 2x2x2x2x2x2 or $2^{6}$.
