The possible outcomes vary according to the numbers on the spinner.

Let the spinner has 8 numbers, then the possible numbers are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8.

The total possible out comes are H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, H7, H8, T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8.

Therefore the total number of possible outcomes is 16.
