OpenStudy (mertsj):

If the order doesn't matter, that's it.

HHHH HHHT HHTT HTTT TTTT TTTH TTHH THHH

@Mertsj PLSE CHECK UR SOLUTION, I THINK U HAVE MADE A MISTAKE

OpenStudy (mertsj):

@msingh I qualified my answer by saying, "if the order doesn't matter". If the order doesn't matter, your second outcome is the same as your eighth outcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so answer is 2^4 =16

Is it equal tossing 4 coins simultaneously

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also, if we toss a coin 4 times ,the outcomes are 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Also, similar in the following case if we toss a pair of coins two times. Is it also equal to tossing 4 coins simultaneously? i.e. no. of outcomes is 16?

OpenStudy (kropot72):

If 4 coins are tossed simultaneously there are 5 possible outcomes: 4H, 4T, 3H/1T, 2H/2T, 1H/3T

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@kropot72 is right.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (kropot72):

If a pair of coins is tossed two times there are four possible outcomes: 4H 3H/1T 2T/2H 3T/1H
