Question

In tossing of three coins, the number of possible outcomes is:

• A. \( 3 \)
• B. \( 4 \)
• C. \( 8 \)
• D. \( 6 \)

Hint:

For an experiment where each independent event has \( n \) possible outcomes, and there are \( k \) independent events, the total number of possible outcomes is: \[ n^k. \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Each coin has two possible outcomes: Head (H) or Tail (T). Since there are three coins, the total number of outcomes is:
\[ 2^3 = \] Listing the possible outcomes:
\[ \{HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT\}. \]
