A coin is tossed n amount of times, and the sequence of heads and tails is recorded. Determine the number of possible different outcomes of this activity. (Your answer will include n.)
for the one right before it the question is a coin is tossed 3 times and the sequence of heads and tails is recorded. Determine the number of possible different outcomes of this activity.
and it was 2^3 is 8
but i don't know how to incorporate n in the answer
2^n
2^n.
so 2^n = ?
yup - simply 2^n
yup
ok thanks
:D
You don't know. The answer is an expression, not a definite value. It depends on what n is - so you throw it 'n' times, you get 2^n possible outcomes. E.g. if you throw it 10 times, 2^10 possible outcomes.
