Uppose a child flips a penny three times in a row. Write out each combination of tails and heads. How many distinct combinations are possible?

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

8

Step-by-step 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=

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}
