How many possible outcomes when flipping a coin 10 times?How many different sequences of heads and tails are possible if you flip a coin 10 times? Answer Since each coin flip can have 2 outcomes (heads or tails), there are 2·2·... 2 = 210 = 1024 ≈ 1000 possibile outcomes of 10 coin flips.
Is it possible to flip a coin 10 times?Junho: According to probability, there is a 1/1024 chance of getting 10 consecutive heads (in a run of 10 flips in a row). However, this does not mean that it will be exactly that number. It might take one person less throws to get 10 consecutive heads.
What is sample space for flipping coin 10 times?For each of the 10 coin tosses, we have either a head (H) or a tail (T). Therefore, there are 210 strings in the sample space (and each is equally likely).
How many possible outcomes contain exactly three heads if the coin is flipped 10 times?So the probability of exactly 3 heads in 10 tosses is 1201024. Remark: The idea can be substantially generalized.
