Question

If three coins are tossed, then the total number of outcomes are

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 6
• D. 8

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Correct answer: 8 

Explanation:
When a coin is tossed, it has 2 possible outcomes: Heads (H) or Tails (T). For three coins, each coin can independently show either Heads or Tails. Therefore, the total number of outcomes for three coins is: \[ 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8 \] The possible outcomes are: \[ HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT \]

Hence, the total number of outcomes is 8.
