Question

5, Brittney is conducting an experiment in class to determine the probability of getting four heads when flip-

four coins. What is the sample space of her experiment?

Answer 1

16 possible outcomes

Explanation:

The sample space of Brittney's experiment is the set of all possible outcomes of flipping four coins. Since each coin can either land on heads or tails, there are two possible outcomes for each coin. Therefore, there are a total of 2^4 = 16 possible outcomes for the experiment. These outcomes can be represented as a list, with each outcome represented by a string of four "H"s and "T"s, where "H" represents a heads and "T" represents a tails. For example, one possible outcome of the experiment could be "HHHT" (two heads, one tails, one heads), and another could be "TTTT" (four tails). The complete sample space of Brittney's experiment would include all 16 possible outcomes.
