It sems difficult, but you must keep in mind you are measuring the amount if outcomes. Each coin has 2 outcomes so 2^4=16

Answer 2

Total number of outcomes which exist when four fair coins are flipped are 16

Explanation:

We have to find the possible outcomes exist when four fair coins are flipped.

As we know each coin flip has 2 possible outcomes one is head another is tail, so the flipping of 4 coins has

No. of possible outcomes=2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16 possible outcomes. The sample space of possible outcomes is

{HHHH, THHH, HHHT, THHT, HHTH, THTH, HHTT,THTT, HTHH, TTHH, HTHT, TTHT, HTTH, TTTH, HTTT, TTTT}

Total number of outcomes which exist when four fair coins are flipped = 16
