Galina was correct when she said: it is 10 times the number of outcomes/there are 2 possible outcomes. Elroy was correct when he said: the outcome of each flip is 1/2/multiply the 10 outcomes. A coin is tossed eight times and outcomes are recorded.

I looked this up and found that when you flip a coin 10 times you get 2^10 = 1024 but including other possibilities there are only 1000 combinations. Meaning that there are 2 possible outcomes for every coin flip and in order to find those combinations you have to multiply 2 to itself for however many times you were to flip a coin.

For Example: Flip a coin 3 times there are 2 possibilities for every time you flip it. So the answer would be 2*2*2=8 combinations.

I hope this helps. :)

The answer is correct that

Galina was correct when she said: there are 2 possible outcomes.

Elroy was correct when he said: multiply the 10 outcomes by 1/2

What is Combination ?

A combination is a mathematical technique that determines the number of possible arrangements in a collection of items where the order of the selection does not matter. In combinations, you can select the items in any order.

As the coin is flipped 10 times and there are to possible outcomes of coin head and tail.

So, [tex]2^{10}[/tex] = 1024

In order to find the combination we have to multiply the number 2 to the number itself or raise the power of 2 to the number of times we have flipped the coin.

Let us take a case,

If we have flipped a coin 5 times and there are only two possibilities.

The answer will be= [tex]2^{5} or 2*2*2*2*2*2[/tex] = 32 combination.
