Answer:

1024

Explanation:

Given that a coin is flipped 10 times.

We know flipping a coin results in two outcomes Head or Tail

When two coins are flippes we get total outcomes as 4 = 2 square

When three coins are flippes we get total outcomes as 8 = 2 cue

Hence in general, if a coin is flipped n times total possible outcomes would be


2^n

Here n =10 (given)

Hence total possible outcomes

=
2^(10) =1024
