The question said we should find the possible outcome of each of the following:

(1) Flipping a coin three times.

Recall, when flipping a coin, there are two possible outcomes (heads or tails).

So flipping a coin three times means:

2³ = 8

Therefore, the possible outcomes of flipping a coin three times is 8.

(2) Rolling a 6-sided die twice.

recall, there are 6 outcomes for a first roll and 6 for the second so, the total number of possible outcome is:

6 * 6 = 36

Therefore, the possible outcomes of rolling a 6-sided die twice is 36.

(3) Rolling a 6-sided die and flipping a coin.

When you flip a coin there are two possible outcomes (heads or tails) and when you roll a die there are six outcomes(1 to 6).

So, putting these together, we will have:

2 * 6 = 12.

Therefore, the possible outcomes of rolling a 6-sided die and flipping a coin 12.
