Question

A coin is tossed eight times. How many different outcomes are there?

Answer 1

The total number of different outcomes of the toss are 256.

Explanation:

Given:

Coin is flipped 8 times.

Number of different outcomes, n = ?

A coin is flipped eight times where each flip comes up either

heads or tails.

Considering the order of the results from each toss does matter.

Each toss has two possibilities  and the number of toss is 8.

Thus, the total outcome of the toss = 2⁸

n = 256

Therefore, total number of different outcomes of the toss are 256.
