Question

Write and solve an equation for the total number of possible combinations from flipping a coin 10 times. Please help quick, I'm trying to work ahead in my courses so i finish my trimester early, and I've already done two of my courses early

Answer 1

The total number of possible combinations from flipping a coin 10 times is 2^10 = 1024.

Answer 2

1024

Explanation:

Given that a coin is flipped 10 times.

We know flipping a coin results in two outcomes Head or Tail

When two coins are flippes we get total outcomes as 4 = 2 square

When three coins are flippes we get total outcomes as 8 = 2 cue

Hence in general, if a coin is flipped n times total possible outcomes would be

`2^n`

Here n =10 (given)

Hence total possible outcomes

=
`2^(10) =1024`
