Question:
The number of possible outcomes when a coin is tossed 6 times, is
(a) 36
(b) 64
(c) 12
(d) 32
Solution:
Since Each coin has 2 faces
∴ Possible outcomes for each coin tossed is H, T
i.e number of possible outcomes for each coin tossed is 2.
Hence for 6 times tossing the coin.
Hence number of positive outcomes when a coin is tossed 6 times is 26
= 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
= 64
