A coin is tossed five times and outcomes are recorded.

Question:

A coin is tossed five times and outcomes are recorded. How many possible outcomes are there?

Solution:

Number of outcomes when the coin is tossed for the first time = 2

Number of outcomes when the coin is tossed for the second time = 2

Thus, there would be 2 outcomes, each time the coin is tossed.

Total number of possible outcomes on tossing the coin five times $=2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2=32$
