Final answer:

When tossing 3 coins, there are 8 different possible outcomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

When tossing 3 coins, there are 8 different possible outcomes.

Each coin can land on either heads (H) or tails (T), so for each coin there are 2 possibilities. Since there are 3 coins, the total number of outcomes is 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.

The possible outcomes are:

  • HHH
  • HHT
  • HTH
  • HTT
  • THH
  • THT
  • TTH
  • TTT
