8

Explanation:

We are given that

A penny throws three times by a child

We know that

Total result in a penny=H or T=2

Number of throws=3

Total number of outcomes=
`2^3=2* 2* 2`

Total number of outcomes=8

Total combination of tail and head in three throws of a penny

{HHH,HHT,THH,TTT,HTT,TTH,HTH,THT}

Hence, 8 distinct combination are possible and these combinations are given below

{HHH,HHT,THH,TTT,HTT,TTH,HTH,THT}
